Welcome to the forum @clareceline. I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum. I'm not sure where the Glenravel area is - is it in Northern Ireland? The Alzheimer's Society in Northern Ireland might be a good place for you to start - https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-us/who-we-are/alzheimers-society-northern-ireland - and I apologise if I'm wrong about where Glenravel is (I'm in Australia!)

Hi @clareceline and welcome to Dementia Support Forum our friendly and helpful community. I am sorry to hear about your mum. Your question is not one I can answer directly. I have no knowledge of night sitters or the area that you mention.. The link given above may be a good place to find out what may be available locally. There's a list of providers of care at home available here:

Hello @clareceline If your mum does live in Glenravel in County Antrim she would be covered by the Northern Health and Social Services Trust. You would need to contact their adult social services to see what help may be available for your mum. I have attached a link for your information.
