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

I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a stroke last August Tarun can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tarun 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. Tarun worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $500 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $280 • Medication and prescriptions: $135 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
