Hi everyone,
Mum has a rare form of dementia known as PPA which affects speech and communication before cognition. She's now at the stage where she needs a little help with personal care, which will obviously progress. I've been looking at private care versus agencies and there are pros and cons to both. Continuity, empathy, experience in non-verbalisation and possibly a bit older would be ideal.
It would be great to hear your experiences of both and if you have any personal, local recommendations. I've looked on the CQC site and there are 15 suitable agencies in the area, although I'm a bit lost how to find private carers.
Thanks so much in advance,
Lisa
