Totally draining but there could be positives as a result Time will tell

The fiasco could have been avoided Pet from what I’ve learned today ! Not what I needed to hear

Well, the meeting went well despite the assessor turning up late.
They are going to recommend 24/7 care which is promising plus the option of a personal budget too...
But we’ll see what happens next as it all too often is just false promises

Her condition has deteriorated in the last 3 months... fortunately it’s a face to face home visit.

Begs the question of who actually is there for support when necessary as many agencies are not fit for purpose in my exp...

Received this today have some great news to share with you today! The NHS has committed to improving transport services for older people to and from hospital, and our campaigning had a big part to play in this win. You might remember that in 2018 and 2019, we campaigned to put an end to the painful...

Hi David I have written emails with the same title enough is enough. As BB mentions clapped out carer stage..I reached that too, and I'm in touching distance of much more freedom Having more care at home seems like a possible option. But may not still give you the freedom you want from the mental l...
