I write concerning my sister. She is 69 and cares for her husband who has lung cancer and Alzheimer's. He no longer communicates (and does not yet suffer pain) although was diagnosed only 2 years ago.
Sister is in Tier 3. Her daughter lives 30 miles away, also in Tier 3. Is it within the rules for the daughter to visit to assist her parents? She thinks not, but surely this cannot be the case.
Also, will some Care Homes take in her husband for, say, one day a week, or 2 days a fortnight - so that he can get accustomed to being away from home - and, of course, to give my sister a much needed break?
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
