Hi - I'm new here and looking for some advice.
I care for my mum who has MS and is very physically disabled through this (pretty much bed bound) along with having a few other illnesses with this.
I ordinarily work full time and care for her 25+ hours a week too.
I have been told to work from home so I am basing myself during this time at my mums as it means I can keep a closer eye on her, as I would have to visit twice daily anyway (she has carers but there are many additional tasks they can't do + staying away from her is simply not an option unless I actually fell ill myself- as she would simply would not cope) While she doesn't come under the vulnerable list coronavirus wise (no respiratory issues, cancer treatments etc ) but my care is very much needed and she is considered very disabled and in need of lots of care (have plenty of written support to prove I help care)
Will I be safe to travel to hers in this lockdown situation? I'm prepared to carry paperwork with me in case I am questioned (her care plan listing my as part of her care, her PIP letter etc). I am not seeing anyone else as I live alone (except supermarket etc). If we go into total lockdown I will stay with her as probably easier but as it stands, I appreciate my evening time at home so I can relax for a few hours away from the stresses of caring for her (probably sounds a little mean but I need some time to unwind - if I'm at her house constantly I just can't relax at all) Is this unreasonable? I'm not really sure what to do.
