Dignity in old age: caring for Elżbieta
Help Elżbieta stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇵🇱 Poland1,294 views
I'm caring for me, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Elżbieta can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elżbieta 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.
Elżbieta 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 four 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 $1,500 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $240
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Elżbieta?
Thank you. If you're in Warsaw I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Nagpur!
Thinking of you and your family, Elżbieta. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
How is Elżbieta doing now?
rooting for you, Elżbieta. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Elżbieta a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 21 people at work. Take care.
