Dignity in old age: caring for Hailey
Help Hailey stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 United States654 views
I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Hailey can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hailey desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Hailey worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $6,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $5,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $340
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $460
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $600
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
