MY wife and I have been together since 1964 but sadly she developed dementia 6 years ago and has of course slowly mentally deteriorated and requires more and more assistance which I do all myself. We are slowly nearing the point where she will really need to go into a home but I would prefer to delay that and keep her at home as long as possible.
During our working life we spent many years abroad and employed Filipino nannies with great success and so I thought it would be a good idea to employ one to help me take care of my wife. Sadly, it appears that Filipinos are excluded from domestic work visa eligibility in the UK so instead of me quietly paying to take care of my wife at home the government will eventually pay about £1,000 per week care home fees. (It’s ok to employ nannies from Monaco). Total madness!
