Duque de Caxias

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Renato can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Renato 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. Renato worked all of his 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $750 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105 • Part-time carer (three months): $570 Thanks for reading all this. - Amanda
