Dignity in old age: caring for Boris
Help Boris stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇦 Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine1,341 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Boris can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Boris 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.
Boris worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $350 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
