Dignity in old age: caring for Janhavi

Help Janhavi stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Janhavi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Janhavi 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. Janhavi worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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: • Part-time carer (six months): $260 • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Isha
