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.
