Margaret wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Margaret can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Margaret 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. Margaret worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $360 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
