Hi I was wondering if anyone has experience of a live in carer from an agency looking after their loved one?
My mum is getting increasingly unable to do things and Alzheimers has worsened considerably. She is 94 and lives alone with carers and myself assisting her. She does not like having carers and is confused as to who is coming when. She can be rude to them and resents them being there but can not manage without really.
The agency have said they provide 24 hr live in care where a carer moves in to the house for 3-4 week periods and then another one swaps. We are wondering if this would be a viable alternative (better than a care home)? Anyone ever used this service? It sounds a bit odd having someone live in for 3 weeks at a time.
Any thoughts welcome!
