Hi
things are looking up I was contacted today by someone from the carer's trust they have referred me on for a carer's assessment and an assessment of dad's needs.
The guy I spoke to suggested direct payments might be something suitable for my situation. I know this is more or less employing someone of our choice to help out but am a bit dubious about how to find someone and acting as an 'employer'. Would anyone recommend this way of doing things, how in easy terms does it work.
Thanks again for everyone's help you have all made me move to take some action.
