It sounds hopeful research. Looking around it seems so random at the moment. Clever, thoughtful fit people can succumb.
A lovely volunteer driver took us to Care Home to visit as it possibly would be the answer to respite. It could be the answer to long term if there is only one to consider. With two sets of needs there may be problems as it is out of county, so our funds would be stretched too far.
It has given peace of mind, as you said Sylvia, as my husband liked the place, the staff were happy with each other and attentive to the residents. The driver turned out to be familiar with care home settings from a previous job and he noticed the ethos. He said the place ticked all the boxes.
Our daughter has taken on fully that if I am unavailable she would be unable to take over and that this place is a possibility.
I may have to shift some medical appointments so a respite break can be arranged, we have so many between us. My husband said he would like it to be a holiday for both of us, unfortunately the SC studio will not be available but I was offered a quiet back room in the house. Not really sure but it would give me a fly on the wall experience!
So now I can face my next medical procedure with the knowledge there is a support plan in place in a dire emergency.
