Got to the point of feeling like we are just an inconvenience ☹️ I’m so fed up of hearing if you need anything or have a problem call Then you make the call having debated for days or hours if you make that call the negative response is worse than the issue or concerns you had. Leaving us feeling al...

Hi Looking through some of the post and one thing is blindly oblivious. It needs to be brought into law that care plans and continuing health funding should be better managed and made easier and more accessible for people that need it.

I do have family that help out. I’m happy with my role. Yes if I wasn’t able he would probably have to go in a nursing home as the last resort. I don’t know what the future holds we have fabulous days and then bad days where you think this is the end and 24 hours later we are having a fab day again ...
