how can I in my right mind entrust my mum to services that just dont care enough. I would not entrust my child to a childminder who did not care enough
I really understand where you’re coming from when you say about if it happens to a child, but then god forbid if it did happen to a child , that we left are child with a child minder and she burse are child, would we leave that child in her hands again ? never leave her with another child minder again , no we would report her to the police, social service and find another child minder, that is regulated by social services
The guilt your feeling is natural, you can beat yourself up about it, but that does not help you in your caring role , its not easy for me to say that , because my mother told me once that she saw a carer keep kicking a lady in the leg to get her up to walk, the man did not do it to my mother because at that time my mother was to alert and would walk around , now how can I prove this and that he was not kicking her in the leg in a joking way ,and ahe should not be doing that anyway . also was my mother telling me is true ? I think so , so what I did I told social services and I told them I did not want my mother going they any more .
I do hope you can find another way around it , in getting respite , if this has really put you of sending your mother to respite .
They is a site that you can check how good a care home is before sending someone there I try find the link xx
