I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture 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 25 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 carpenter, and raised 3 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 $600 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $390 • Medication and prescriptions: $55 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 Glad we found this place.
