Home care fund for Louise in Nice
Help Louise stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇫🇷 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France3,591 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a stroke last August Louise can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Louise 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.
Louise worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $4,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $530
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $290
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Louise.
It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (three months) is the big one at $3,000, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Praying for you, Corinne. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Yokohama.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Dublin but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending strength, Corinne. Your post was clear and honest
