My one remaining parent is due to have a hip replacement next month. They live on their own in a bungalow. I am their only family so feel responsible for them to an extent, and they’re a good person.
I just wondered if anyone knew whether the nhs will try and get me to do after care when parent is discharged home alone. Are relatives coerced into this kind of care? I have younger kids, basically i do the school run alone in the morning, go straight to work, straight home at 6pm to take over while DH then goes to work for a couple of hours. No annual leave left to take and can’t afgird to risk my job. I would be willing to help care, but I don’t know when or how I could do this.
Parent is mid 70’s and in good health. Anyone got any advice as I have no idea what to expect. If parent discharged during working hours do they get a cab home???
Thanks
