I'm caring for me, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Anthony can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anthony 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. Anthony worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $3,850 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,600 • Medication and prescriptions: $380 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $570 If you're reading this, thank you.
