I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a stroke last March Het can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Het desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Het worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $550 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $90 • Part-time carer (eight months): $440 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $20 Thanks for reading all this.
