Me again asking for more advice, I so value all of the replies you give so would like to say thank you. Anyway, after phoning for many months mum will be having a needs assessment on wednedsday. I have no idea what will be involved, what questions will be asked or what questions to ask. I am useless at being put on the spot so think it might be worth being forwarned, can anyone give me some advice on this. ty.
