Dignity in old age: caring for Aravind

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Aravind can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aravind desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Aravind worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $200 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Medication and prescriptions: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
