Care for Hạnh, 94: help cover a carer and medication in El Paso
Help Hạnh stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 United States3,882 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a diagnosis of dementia Hạnh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hạnh 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.
Hạnh 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 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 $4,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $710
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
