I work as a volunteer for CAB twice a week, filling in forms. If you've had a bad experience before, I know it can put you off going again, but please get every bit of help that's available.
Most places seem to be a post code lottery nowadays. We didn't get anything provided free, and my husband hated the idea of going to a Day Centre too. But I suggested that we'd give it a few weeks' trial and if he still disliked it, then he needn't go again.
And because he won at snooker, or a quiz, he then stopped protesting. My local Incontinence Advisory Service would only provide pads, not pants, but eventually they agreed, and provided them. It's an uphill struggle, I know, but if I hadn't have had the breaks whilst John was at his Day Centres, or Crossroads Care came round, I'd have had a breakdown.
