Dignity in old age: caring for Heru

I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a fall and hip fracture Heru can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Heru 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. Heru worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $390 • Medication and prescriptions: $65 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Thanks for reading all this.
