I'm caring for me, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Lourdes can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lourdes desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Lourdes worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 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 $750 goes:
β’ Part-time carer (three months): $560
β’ Medication and prescriptions: $50
β’ Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
β’ Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
Glad we found this place.
