Care for Inès, 90: help cover a carer and medication in Mississauga
Help Inès stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇨🇦 Canada2,979 views
I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a heart attack Inès can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Inès 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.
Inès worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,900
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Inès
Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (three months), $1,900. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
Keep going, Inès. This could happen to any of us.
best of luck, Inès. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Mississauga.
