I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Klaus can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Klaus desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Klaus worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $4,300 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $280
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,650
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $370
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Aurangabad
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Makati.
