Dignity in old age: caring for Khoa

I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a diagnosis of dementia Khoa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Khoa desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Khoa worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $200 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 Thanks for reading all this. - Quyên
