Calling all carers
My father in law has Alzheimers and my mother in law finds going away on holiday now rather difficult. I therefore looked on the internet for somewhere for them to go away with support. The only place I came across was Vitalise. I have booked them into an Alzheimer's Week in October.
I started to look into whether I could set something up on a smaller scale. I have done alot of research, found a property and now want to know whether any one would come and stay before I make that final plunge. Many people have told me it is a much needed service but I need people to start knocking on my door!!
I am working at the moment as a Practice Nurse.
I am hoping to offer a sitting service if needed, as well as accompanied or unaccompanied trips out. I would take a maximum of 4 couples at a time. They could stay upto a week at a time.
I would like to find out if you think there is a demand for this sort of care and support. CSCI have told me i would not need to be registered
Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated.
