I too have found kindness but so far no action. I am waiting on my husband having a needs assessment.
I have had a Carers Assessment but although supportive, and I am very grateful for that there has been no practical help. I will chase them again.
The answer is simple and cheap, the day centre bus to pick up over the county.
It is these border lines, they are so foolish! We lived in the county concerned for many years, we slipped over four years ago for mutual family support.
The border is a mile if that away, the facility we need one and a half miles away. Nothing meets the Care Home Day Centre, for price, location, integration and possible future respite of care. We have known people who spent there last years there so there is a reassurance.
Thank you for you kind support, TP is keeping me sane, if I have ever been sane
