Dignity in old age: caring for Sanjay

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Sanjay can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sanjay 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. Sanjay worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $450 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Part-time carer (eight months): $365 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
