My Mum had help from Bluebird carers for about a year. All very nice - some more competent and proactive than others. Quite pricey but very reliable. Good luck.

Hello 5 and 2,

Welcome to Talking Point.

I had to read your post twice; I thought it was me posting!

Snap my husband loves to walk. Although he only walks once a day, he does walk 6 miles each time. I am trying so hard to limit the number of times I walk with him as it can be so tying and so tiring.

I have recently been touch with SS to see if I could find someone to walk with him. I had a recommendation of Bluebird Care.

Now I haven't been in touch with them yet but like the approach they describe on their website.

Will you let me know how you get on please? I too need someone to do physically active things with him, rather than Day Care.

Fingers crossed it works for you.

Hi!

Have you tried the red cross? Or crossroads might be able to assist possibly?..what about an all heifers society befriended? ??.speak to your local officer..
Best wishes

The Royal Voluntary Service might be able to help with a volunteer to go out for walks with your dad, or even Age UK might have a volunteer, though Age UK was unable to provide anyone to sit with mum because she has carers going in, and even the RVS said no, because mum has defecated on her carpet a couple of times (I hadn't lived until I was clearing up my mother's poo from her carpets) and their volunteers are only there to keep people company for a while, not act as carers.
