Hi all
My Dad has dementia (74) and is in respite (self funded), from reading all the good stuff on here I got in contact with the local social services. They duly rang Mum and told her because she has savings of more than the threshold that they only help they can give her is a list of potential nursing homes to put him in.....is that really it? Ok I am going into full rant mode now...after both paying into their social system for all their working lives is that really it? what are other peoples experience of SW?, what she needs is support in dealing with all of this and guidance etc?
