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

I'm caring for me, who's 83. After a diagnosis of dementia Shweta can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shweta desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Shweta worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $420 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 Thank you so much.
