Albany

I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After a heart attack David can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and David desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. David worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $1,400 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $730 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $370 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
