Dear Members,
Recent posts have indicated a growing discontent on various topics which make a carer's life even more difficult. These include such things as wading through Assessments, dealing with the SS, sorting out Respite; dealing with finances and finding suitable Care Homes.
It seems like it might be a good idea to highlight these issues in a series of articles in the national press. The Panorama programme was excellent and generated a great deal of public interest and outcry a few months' ago. It is perhaps a good time to keep AD in the public eye.
If anyone would like to suggest a topic or write an article, then please do post your ideas here. Here's a few preliminary headings that we could consider:
A Day in the Life of a Carer
The Trauma of Selling the Family Home to pay for Care
Finding a Suitable and Affordable Care Home
Please add your own......
Best wishes,
Jude
