Dignity in old age: caring for Kiptoo

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Kiptoo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kiptoo 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. Kiptoo 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 six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $200 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $55 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
