I'm caring for me, who's 87. After worsening Parkinson's disease Kirit can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kirit desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Kirit worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 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 $900 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $700 • Medication and prescriptions: $115 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Thank you for reading my story. - Kirit

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kirit

    • Kirit T. DeshmukhOwnerAnswer

      Part-time carer (eight months) is $700 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.

            Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Orlando.
