Care for Gloria, 90: help cover a carer and medication in Mandurah

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After worsening Parkinson's disease Gloria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gloria desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Gloria worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $3,900 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,650 • Medication and prescriptions: $610 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $185 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $455 If you're reading this, thank you.
