Dignity in old age: caring for Napat

I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a fall and hip fracture Napat can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Napat 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. Napat worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $300 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 • Medication and prescriptions: $115 Every share and every dollar helps. - Yupin
