Hi everyone. Im cross!!
Mum lives with us and recently we started Carers following a blip. So far so good except mum only ever has care when SHE is ready. Carers twice a day and me the rest of the time. Basically to change pull-ups wash and or change nightie and evening call to try get to bed.
EXCEPT past 2 nights they've come at 7!!! That's no good to me or mum who hasn't had supper yet and certainly won't want bed at 7.30. Aaaagh!! Not Carers fault I know and we can't all have exact times but there's a reason why I'd asked for later calls and that was noted. So I said there was no point the carer even coming in. Thing is eventually mum is paying for these visits ( waiting for OPG) and so adult social care deferring payments till then. Worried if I cancel altogether then we'll have pay up now but with what? And can I change care agency to one of our choosing now or do I have to wait as Social care contract with this particular one? Thankyou.... I've calmed down a bit now.......
