My two daughters and I have had a weekend to Barcelona planned for some time, due to go weekend after next. Social worker arranged respite care but not in an EMI unit, he thought they would be able to look after him. The home has an EMI unit as well but the respite bed isn't available. Anyway Bernard had to go for a trial run today to see if they could cope. Upshot being that he ended up in their EMI unit by mid-afternoon and there's no way they can take him for the weekend .
