Please can someone offer me some advice? If your loved one lived on their own & you couldn’t organise family to be there, what did you put in place?
I’m trying to sort night cover as we’re going to get 4 x day cover for free initially after hospital discharge but it looks to be £33 an hour at night & when you add that up for a portion of the night & for 7 nights a week, it’s a huge amount of money.
My mom doesn’t want to pay for that but I can’t think of anything else. I’ve asked for a palliative assessment but it’s not happening, I don’t even know if that would help - do they come out at night? Mom is definitely palliative but I’m banging my head up a wall on that one.
My mom also won’t go into a care home so I’m stuck, she wants to be at home.
Is there a like a ‘check a trade’ page for private care agencies and a ‘compare the market’ page or do I just need to ring round different ones. Any advice gratefully received. It’s a minefield.
