OK, I think the time has come for me to find someone to help me with the housework. Ive never had to do anything like this before. I need someone with an understanding of dementia and a sympathetic attitude towards the state of my home
But how do I find someone? Ive contacted Age UK who say they can do this, but in the event all I have received is a printout of a list of people who have the word "clean" in their title. So Ive got mostly carpet cleaners, some window cleaners, exterior/gutter cleaners, car cleaners, oven cleaners and a chimney sweep! Only 2 people on the list are domestic home cleaners, one of them is over 10 miles away and the other has no reviews.
Would it be OK to take this person on (I dont even know if she would accept), or should I look somewhere else first? If so, where?
