House for Mom she'll never see.



Backstory

Now that Mom's only on her own pension, it doesn't cover where she lives. She loves it there and has friends. She could easily live another decade. Am searching for a house to fix and rent that will make up the difference in her expenses. She'll never see it, even though it will be hers.

We've had to rent my mothers house after she went into aged care for same reason. Now her pension and rent cover costs of her getting looked after.

Well worth the cost.

Definitely. I was so stressed trying to look after her. Now I have peace of mind knowing she's getting looked after24/7
