Thank you Geraldine for your wise words. I will talk to my GP as I believe he can refer me to social services and it could be quicker via him.B, please ask the social services for help, even if you are self funding. Please tell them that you are turning to them because there is no other help and could they possibly tell you where the vacancies are, even if they cannot recommend anything. Emphasise that you are in acute pain and you have to get this sorted in order to go on being a carer, otherwise you will not be able to cope at all.
The other option, although expensive, is to track down and hire an independent social worker. They do exist and I have heard good things.
I do not want worry about this to add to your difficulties my darling.
with all love, Geraldine aka kindred. xxxx
I hadn’t heard about independent social workers, but of course it makes sense. It’s just that I’m such a novice.
I hope you are ok, and managed a lovely visit today to see Keith and the residents. Were they full of e additives from lots of Halloween treats?
With much love B xx
