Home care fund for Elena in Wellington

I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Elena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elena 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. Elena 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 four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,650 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,200 • Medication and prescriptions: $740 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $480 Thank you so much.
