Mum is 92, three years post diagnosis and going downhill gracefully!
I had 5 days off last year and missed my children/grandchild go off on a family holiday. That hurt me more than I can say!
I have spoken to a local care home where a relative was looked after and the offer bookable respite care. The first booking is for two weeks but after that one week can be booked.
Ok it’s pricy but mum can afford it. I have read people’s bad experiences with respite but I am sure that there are some good times and I know the care given to my relative was good.
Just need to convince myself and then make those bookings!!
