Yes Chris your links are really helpful.....keep em coming fella x x

I learnt the hard way and keep all documents that relate to mum.....she generates masses of paperwork from Doctors letters to Invoices to discharge notes......a whole forests worth of paper !!! Which now equates to 4 box files. You never know when your going to need them.....for example my mum stopp...

Me and the carer attempt a shower at least twice a week but it does depend on my mums moods. We get her meds down as soon as she wakes with a cup of tea and a biscuit.....I know some people who leave there meds till they are washed and dressed but I need them to start working ASAP or she puts up to ...

And so it drags on and on....we where accessed for CHC Funding in September 2018....they agreed a only a month ago that they would fund and refund us the payments we have made since September. However we received a letter from there admin telling us the amount they are paying us which is only two th...

We use a postal vote, my mum is blind and has dementia, I have POA... If I read out the names on the postal form and the parties they represent then ...

Our original meeting was back in Sept 2018... Endless phone calls and emails back and forth chasing an answer We FINALLY get a reply end of March 2019 that they will fund and THEY will take over payment from now on and back date our claim....... Have now been chased by the carer company for non paym...

So after a back braking enjoyable day weeding in the garden I asked mum if she wanted to come out in the sunshine.... I’m not sure why I asked as I knew the answer would be no....
