I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After the death of her spouse Lillian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lillian desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Lillian worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,700 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $920 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $510 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 Thanks for reading all this. - Jennifer
