Hi All,
I've just spent a very nice 'tea and info' afternoon with our local Crossroads support rep.
I did register with them some months back, but they have only been able to contact me this week due to overload....
Crossroads is a charity organisation who provide additional carer support to unpaid carers at home. Basically their brief is to provide free care for special occasions or on a weekly basis if possible. This enables carers such as ourselves to have a free morning, afternoon or evening to go out and enjoy ourselves a bit! You can also book for weekend help too.
Ronnie was incredibly helpful and has given me lots of information. She is also going to come back next week and introduce the carer to my parents. She knows exactly what she's on about and worked for the AD Society for some time before joining Crossroads. It was so wonderful to meet somebody who is so positive and helpful.
If anyone would like to register, the email address for Crossroads is manager@crossroadcare.fslive.co.uk
Best wishes, Jude
