Kajal wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Kajal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kajal 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. Kajal worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $600 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $420 • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ganesh
