hi,
im frustrated and confused. my grandad whom is currently in respite while we wait for our care package for him to come home qualifies for continuiong healthcare. what i dont understand is that our local PCT does not provide overnight care. with this i mean positional changes in the night. i am at home caring for him during the day while my mam works full time and then when she comes in i work on an eveing and im studying too. i understand its hard and drainging the caring which we do but wouldnt you think that they would provide some help to come in during the night to turn and change as getting up at 4am and having broken sleep is hard. i can manage but its very hard when mam has to get back up again at 7am and do a responsible job.
