· 24 hour personal care again is available BUT IS NOT FUNDED. Available via private agency and it would probably cost around £600.00 a week
· However,home care can be increased by hourly slots ie they could come in and prepare lunch and again prepare for bed in the evening.
· “Sitting Service” – Available from day care. Ask SW."
