Care for Mia, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Berlin

I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a diagnosis of dementia Mia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mia desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Mia 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 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 $4,250 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $3,200 • Medication and prescriptions: $480 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $375 Thanks for reading all this. - Melanie
