I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a stroke last October Taylor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Taylor desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Taylor worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $3,050 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400 • Part-time carer (six months): $2,200 Glad we found this place.
