Dignity in old age: caring for Ștefan

Ștefan, 85, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $2,100 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Ștefan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ștefan desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Ștefan worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $2,100 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,400 • Medication and prescriptions: $330 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $150 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220 Thanks for reading all this.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ștefan?

      Thank you. If you're in Iași I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.

    Take care, Adrian. Your post was clear and honest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Rajshahi.

      Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Salem donated after I showed her your page.
