Daughter takes care of father – “Dad, thanks for everything you have done”

Every day is a “Father’s Day” for the Nordburggländerwoman, because she has maintained her father Robert Unger at home since 2023. This was made possible by the country’s employment model. Her father is currently at care level 4. For you it was a conscious decision of gratitude and love. “My parents looked at my brother and me, now we of course look at Dad after my mother died,” explains Clayton.

This care model has brought security and stability and also strengthened relationships. “My father lives in the family, he is in the event. Family Cohesie is healing for the soul,” says the daughter. She strengthened the employment contract of the Burgenland Care Service in her decision. A neighbor told her about it.

Your father is cared for at home – like 80 percent of people who need care in Austria. A point that is especially important to him: “It would break my father’s heart if he had to leave home,” said Clayton. For Father’s Day, she is aimed at her father, who has been a loyal “krone” reader for 25 years: “Thank you for everything you have done. I am so proud of you and love you with all my heart.”

700 people used the employment model
