I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Ika can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ika 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. Ika worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $850 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $630 • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 Glad we found this place.

  • Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
