Dignity in old age: caring for Joon-woo

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Joon-woo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Joon-woo 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. Joon-woo worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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 $950 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230 • Medication and prescriptions: $460 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
