Beatrice wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a heart attack Beatrice can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Beatrice desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Beatrice worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $250 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Medication and prescriptions: $165 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
