I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Dina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dina 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.
Dina worked all of her 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 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 $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $520
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
Thanks for being kind about this.
