Dignity in old age: caring for Pınar
Help Pınar stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye1,303 views
I'm caring for me, who's 95. After a stroke last April Pınar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Pınar desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Pınar worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150
• Part-time carer (six months): $790
I hope life is good to you.
