I've no idea but wanted to say how pleased to hear you are having respite.
You did mention it was being planned and someone was steadily getting her used to the idea.
I hope you and your husband get a good rest, and maybe go away somewhere.

Thank you for your good wishes, I won't actually believe it until we are driving home, it's a 4 hour round trip.
Hi @reedysue
I’m glad you’ve got some respite sorted. When my dad first went into his carehome for 4 weeks assessment I took him 4 full changes of outfit plus a couple of extra shirts 1 coat, 2 cardigans 1 pullover I pair of shoes and a pair of slippers and 4 sets of nightwear. 6 sets of undies.
This was fine. He could probably have managed with less as they had a laundry on site. Make sure everything is labelled.
I hope it all goes smoothly.

Wow 4 hour round trip. I hope that goes well. I know you are very rural but still.
MIL is in the solway Firth area and I guess as her nearest decent sized supermarket is 40 mins away she will have same issue if it comes to needing a care home.
Hopefully when the time comes a care home will be available much closer but it appears that there is no other suitable respite the moment.
Aww so glad you are finally getting some respite . Thinking of you my dear friend xxxx
Thanks Chick, we are looking forward to it, I hope you are feeling better now xxxx
You must be keeping fingers crossed the respite works out for all of you xxx
