I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After the death of her spouse Nadia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nadia 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. Nadia worked all of her 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 eight 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 $1,400 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,050 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $155 • Medication and prescriptions: $195 Thank you for reading my story.
