Budget 2017, a carer's story: ‘My wish is for my mother to stay in her own home’
Joy is a nurse and took two years carers’ leave to mind her mother, but this has just come to an end.
A single woman with no children, she has returned to her job at University Hospital Waterford on a reduced working week of just 15 hours, but Nora, who lives in Bunclody, Co Wexford, still needs full-time care on the two days that Joy is working.
