Before anyone says anything, I know this is could be breaking the rules, although over night stays are allowed in self-catering accommodation.
For context, my Dad has had both doses of the AZ vaccine, my DH has to do twice weekly lateral flow tests and my DS has to as well, he is 13 so at secondary.
So as not to dripfeed this is the background. Six months ago my Dad's partner went into a care home, she has dementia, the situation had become unmanageable cause of health and safety issues and they had social worker intervention. My Dad then came to stay with me cause the COVID numbers were loads where I live at that time, Dad lives 200 miles in the North West.
Since November my Dad has been living in sheltered accommodation near my Sister, he has been in her support bubble and he isn't very good at coping on his own. Physically he is okish (he is 82) but mentally he struggles. Obviously the strain on my Sister has been pretty big, she has borne the brunt of everything since November, although I have supported with phone calls at least once a day and various admin tasks. My Sister needs a break and both her boys have GCSE/A'level assessments, its a busy time and she needs to be able to fully focus on her boys.
We are planning to move my Dad down to me next week. He would be travelling by train and would stay at our house. Our house is fairly spacious, he wont be going out a lot.
I'm just wondering what others think please
