Prakash wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Prakash stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After a diagnosis of dementia Prakash can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Prakash desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Prakash worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 2 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $580
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.
