I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Ángel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ángel 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. Ángel worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,300 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $790 • Medication and prescriptions: $190 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $170 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150 Thanks for reading all this.
