Dignity in old age: caring for Adrian
Adrian cannot afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we are asking for $2,450.
🇷🇴 București, București, Romania4,183 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After worsening Parkinson's disease Adrian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adrian 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.
Adrian 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 three 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 $2,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,950
• Medication and prescriptions: $190
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $160
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
