Dignity in old age: caring for Junaid

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a stroke last July Junaid can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Junaid 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. Junaid 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 four 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 $550 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35 • Part-time carer (four months): $420 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Laiba
