I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Sunita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sunita 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.
Sunita worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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 $700 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Part-time carer (six months): $580
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sunita
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. hospital bed and mattress rental is the biggest at $35. Thanks for asking.
thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
hope you get there. We're a small family in Caloocan but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Hubballi!
