I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Aarav can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aarav desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Aarav worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $250 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 I hope life is good to you.
