Hi folks,
My mother is on Direct Payments and I'm intending on putting her in respite care for 1 week as a trial to see how she settles. I'm confused over the fees though. A few weeks ago my SW said she would have to pay half of the care fees and social services would pay the rest, then just the other day he said it would come out of DP. Now I don't know what to think??
Has anyone been in the same situation as me? I've been told Mum is not entitled to respite vouchers as she's on DP!
Help!
