Care for Teresa, 75: help cover a carer and medication in La Plata

I'm caring for me, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Teresa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Teresa desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Teresa worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $1,100 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $680 • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $160 Glad we found this place.
