Just call them and ask for an assessment, your local council will arrange it. There is a lot more help out there too not just social services, just ask there are lots of very informed people here and welcome to TP.

Nothing to add except a very big WELCOME to Talking Point. Lots of friendly shoulders to cry on here. Good luck with getting the right he;lp for you and your dad

Hi, welcome to TP, I've found it to be the best thing since sliced bread:)

We got a lot of help from MIL's GP at the beginning. I also found our local Alzheimer's Society a great comfort. Good luck - there is help out there you just have to find it.
