Dignity in old age: caring for Kausar
Help Kausar stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world700 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Kausar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kausar desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Kausar worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
Glad we found this place.
