I am looking into care for my Dad. Keeping him at home (a bungalow) is of upmost importance to my sisters and I. He suffers from diabetes and had a minor stroke 18 months ago, still alert and with it, but unsteady on his feet and needs a frame to walk. We are fortunate enough to have all 3 children in reasonable proximity so we can see him once a week each at least. We know he will need carers in the morning and evening for dressing and getting in and out of bed, but ideally we would like to keep him at home and comfortable. His local health authority won't pay for any telehealth/telecare system. Does anybody know how much they cost privately? is it an initial cost or monthly or both?
