Dignity in old age: caring for Comfort

Help Comfort stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a heart attack Comfort can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Comfort 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. Comfort worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $450 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $250 • Medication and prescriptions: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 With deep gratitude, Comfort
