Hi everyone my hubby wants to take me away for a week hes worried about me and really wants me to have a break and to be honest since ive been looking after mum we seem to drifting apart So i started looking round to see if there was anything else out there i could put into place for mum if i go away
I found a number for carers center and because i knew i wouldnt be able to book any respite for mum !!!!!! i gave them a ring they have a list of carers who work independently ( i did mention respite and she told me i would only qualify if i cared 24/7 might be worth a try for some of you these people care about the carers) i'm going to see a lovely lady next week to discuss and arrange mum does have care going in but i want extra care to fill in for me cup of tea chat etc my brother will be doing his bit too
She then told me about a grant they have for carers called Time For Me which is up to £200 its not means tested you have to apply and your case goes before a panel some of you probably already know about this and i don't know if there are carers centers in all areas but needed to share this with you love Annie x
P.S they are also offering free three hour sessions at the spa in town for carers and a friend heaven knows when i'd get the time but would be nice x
