Hi All,
Feeling low have big problems its a constant battle. Went to see a NH today with SW told only one and they only had one bed for respite. Again all were elderly that was just the start of it. We were talking at the end of the tour when a woman came up (i take the manager) and said "how old is he" 53 was replied oh we can't take him he is TOO YOUNG we can only take over 65's so there is no-where for respite even in nursing homes for the elderly for younger people. When oh when is this country going to get care sorted out before all carers get ill. I've been advised to go to the Advice Shop. Surely this is discrimination against young people with Dementia and Carers. Carers who are saving the Government. Whey was this not checked out before i went? What ever is this country coming to? Who cares about us? Do i take it to a lawyer against the Council and NHS for not providing proper care and going against age?
