Deborah wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Deborah stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom835 views
I'm caring for me, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Deborah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Deborah desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Deborah worked all of her 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 $700 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $360
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $195
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Thủ Đức

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
