I'm caring for me, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Raquel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Raquel 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. Raquel worked all of her 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 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 $1,300 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $890 • Medication and prescriptions: $200 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90 Thank you so much.

  • Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Brasília

    • Take care, Raquel. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

      • Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
