I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After the death of her spouse Sylvie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sylvie 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. Sylvie worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $4,000 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $3,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $630 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $370 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Stéphane

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

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (six months) is the biggest at $3,000. It helps to be asked.
