Hi there,
My parents are 78 and 83, and live in the South East (just outside London), while I'm working in Bristol.
None of my other siblings are nearby to them, and we're getting increasingly worried about their ability to stay in the home they've lived in for the past 40 years.
It's just small stuff - handling the kettle, changing lightbulbs, and general housework that they need help with. I know we could just get someone local through an ad in the paper or something like that, but I'm worried about them getting ripped off.
Does anyone know any good care services where you can just organise care for a few hours a week, without having to go through a big care agency or anything like that?
Has anyone else experienced the same problem with their parents/relatives?
