I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Hazel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hazel 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. Hazel 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 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 $3,250 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $2,450 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $570 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 Glad we found this place. - Deborah

    Your post was clear and honest. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Cologne.
