Hi everyone, this is my first post here. My Dad has VD I suppose middle stages...however one defines these things. I live in Australia, currently in the UK for 2 weeks. For many reasons Dad is in a financial situation which leaves him below the threshold for self funding. Currently being cared for by his long term partner, we are now looking at getting him into the system and the option of respite care. He is based in Woking. I just wanted to know what sort of options are open in this situations. Are the facilities much inferior... is it just luck of the drawer, we may (my brother and I ) be able to add some money to top up but really just starting to explore this and would love to hear about peoples experiences. Thank you
