Cape Coast
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Diana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Diana 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. Diana worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $750 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 • Part-time carer (six months): $530 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 I hope life is good to you.

        • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Diana

          • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. mobility aids and bathroom adaptations comes first ($95) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
