Hello
Has anyone had experience of organising a care agency for their parent? We all live away and want to organise a weekly 'call in' to check all is ok. At this stage more to give us 'reassurance' and then to increase input as and when needed.
I am planning to meet up with the agencies with my mum, but would welcome any experiences or things members have learnt the hard way
What are the important questions to ask?
What helps to maintain a good working relationship with the agency?
Any other pearls of wisdom.
I have read helpful previous posts about how to get the person with dementia to accept carers/support. It's more on the 'long distant' part I would like some input.
Many thanks
Hermes
