I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After the death of her spouse Komal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Komal desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Komal worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $150 goes: โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $55 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
