I'm just waiting on the financial assessment being looked at to find out how much we will have to pay towards 1/2 an hour for a few days to help dressing and bathing on a morning and a daycare ,once a week .Across the board all applicants if eligible are given £12.55 and then you make it up or are in a position where it will be paid for you
Additional to this I myself am offered 28 days respite per year and you have optional ways to use it .
Respite for my hubby at a small cost of £14 .50 per night or it can be used towards another daycare ,or to pay a sitter while I have a few hours off .
It sounds wonderful let's hope it works out that way ,I will keep in touch .
By the way ,I haven't given any financial information about myself only joint account with hubby's pensions in .
But is this a Carer's Assessment for you or a Needs Assessment for the person who has dementia? If it was a Carer's Assessment then fingers crossed for you.
