Dignity in old age: caring for Satria

I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a heart attack Satria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Satria 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. Satria 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 three 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 $950 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $770 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $15 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Pandu
