Dignity in old age: caring for Anil

I'm caring for me, who's 76. After worsening Parkinson's disease Anil can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anil 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. Anil worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $850 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $630 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Anil
