Nearest admiral nurses location is 30 miles away sadly.
Am I alone in feeling hesitant in reaching out for help. My experience so far has been that we reach breaking point....contact GP or adult care team and then get passed from pillar to post. I can’t keep track of how many teams, who is who, different names, rapid response, crisis, support network, adult care, mental health, community mental health, CPN, carers support, carers support worker.... I no longer know who is part of a charity or who is council or NHS and each seems keen to refer us to another team and the end result seems to be that people fail to ring back or arrive when expected....then when they do they make suggestions which are unhelpful or just tell us to consider nursing homes. I think a nursing home would solve it for them.
Mum will go downhill rapidly and be very distressed. Dad would feel guilty and depressed. Finances would be a big concern.
Having said that it is on my list of things to do in my holiday ...investigate homes.
