I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Elisa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elisa desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Elisa worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,100 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200 • Medication and prescriptions: $460 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440 Glad we found this place. - Davide
