Home care fund for Howard in Manchester

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Howard can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Howard 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. Howard worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $3,200 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,050 • Medication and prescriptions: $490 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300 Thank you so much. - Janet
