I’ve got experience of arranging 24/7 care for Mum that worked for a year and a half. It is however a very stressful process. First Carer I employed via an agency turned up to my mothers house steaming drunk with an open bottle of cider in her bag. Needless to say, she didn’t stay but was a stressful experience with my mum being newly out of hospital. I had to make arrangements with another company and delay my return to work. Had a Carer then who was OK although my Mum wasn’t that keen on her and she left me in the lurch for Christmas. Next I had someone whose personal circumstances meant long stints were favourable to her so I was able to cover most of the holiday time so that worked fairly well. One of the relief carers for daily breaks couldn’t cope with my mum and I would get phone calls at work saying my mum had run out into the street and my mum found all this coming and going fairly stressful. I’ve also had the experience of putting my mum into full time care during a pandemic. The home is good but mum has hugely declined and visit situation is not good. I don’t think there is any good easy option at the moment. Home care is as others have mentioned very expensive. Not sure this has been helpful. I feel like 24/7 care at home people think is a perfect solution but it requires dedication and plenty of involvement to keep running smoothly. Despite the huge mark up the care company took, I found them to be unprofessional towards the end and dealing with them was stressful. Only my experience. Good luck with whatever you decide
