I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a diagnosis of dementia Zoe can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zoe desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Zoe worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $6,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $5,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $400
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $610
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
