Hi all hope your all ok under these terrible circumstances so stressful
I live with my dad and have respite carers currently only 1 x 2 hours a week and did have another to take my dad out that was weeks ago but since cancelled not sure if i should take new carer on under these circumstances as they would 1) be required to take my dad out normally to cafe walk shopping centre for 3 hours but obviously these are closed could still take for a walk but gov advice is changing all the time and he shouldn’t really be out as over 70 but he’s impossible to keep in (thats another story )
will get aggressive if kept in doors ( all day dreading next few months and if orderd by gov that people have to stay in i really dont know what im going do he will end up being sectioned) thats how bad the situation is but going back to the carer im not sure its wise due to virus risk but on the other hand if the other carer gets called off sick etc he will have nothing or rather me he doesn’t need hoisting feeding etc so feel guilty that im taking precious carers away anyway .☹️
