I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Luigi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Luigi desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Luigi worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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: • Part-time carer (six months): $3,200 • Medication and prescriptions: $580 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $150 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $370 Every share and every dollar helps.
