I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After the death of his spouse Bennett can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bennett desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Bennett worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,300 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (six months): $3,250 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $430 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $450 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $170 Glad we found this place.
