Dignity in old age: caring for Kavita

Kavita, 82, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $900 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a heart attack Kavita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kavita 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. Kavita worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $900 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $680 • Medication and prescriptions: $55 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
