hi all so i managed to get a carer agency (self funding )£ 22 per hour to come to my dads for 2 hours morning one morning a werk as he didnt want carers big thing for him and me hes 71 lives alone me doing literally everything companion medication order collecting laundry drs cooking shopping i live separate but travel to my dads and have him everyday im very tired so i needed help got a agency in agaist my dads wishes agency turned up with carer and manager rushed in carer was rude saying and showing me dirty cups i do clean my dads 2/3 hours a week but flat in chaos due to my dad pulling stuff out but its fairly clean the carer a large male wasnt teally listening to me and talking non stop about himself the manager rushed out and carer kept showing me dirty stuff hes ok but im not sure my dads going like him he said he doesnt want him
in London area its hard to get carers as ive emailed loads of agencys and none have got back to me the agency seems unprofessional but i got them from Alzheimer’sline not sure what else i can do i just want a morning to myself once a week knowing dad is safe any recommendations as to finding a suitable carer will give it another week to see how it hoes with him nut dont seem to understand dementia or be professional
