Dignity in old age: caring for Princess

Help Princess stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a stroke last June Princess can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Princess 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. Princess worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $800 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $520 • Medication and prescriptions: $140 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Princess
