I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Annabelle can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Annabelle desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Annabelle worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $4,550 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (three months): $2,900 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $790 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $410 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450 Glad we found this place. - Vivian
