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.
