Care for Noah, 75: help cover a carer and medication in Karlsruhe

Help Noah stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

Karlsruhe
I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a stroke last June Noah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noah desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Noah worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $5,350 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $3,850 • Medication and prescriptions: $640 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $520 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Lisa

        wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier.

        • Murilo Manoel GuimarãesQuestion

          What's already covered and what's the $5,350 for?

          • Lisa BauerOwnerAnswer

            Part-time carer (four months) is $3,850 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.

          Sending love. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
