I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a stroke last August Miguel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Miguel desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Miguel worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $2,750 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,550 • Medication and prescriptions: $520 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $370 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
