I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a diagnosis of dementia Robert can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Robert desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Robert worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $590
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210
I hope life is good to you.
- Robert
