There's a disability write off that we can apply for on this years pension that should help a bit.
Private care is tremendously expensive, especially memory care can be really expensive and specific.
When you add in needing a secure facility, instead of in a general setting where they need constant help and supervision, its really pricing.
Add on, it was my mom's birthday this weekend so we decided to have a Pizza party because Mom used to love Pizza, so we bought in a Pizza and bought some cupcakes.
My Mom is an on and off eater. But she actually destroyed the Pizza and had 4 pieces and a cup cake which made us all happy.
