My parents health and independence is rapidly worsening (mum in particular). I've spoken to their gp and a social services assessment has been requested but it's still going to take months to sort out. I think my mum needs someone to come in each morning to help get washed dressed and eat. And in the evening the same to get ready for bed. Ideally more care to prepare meals and help for my dad but he is quite stubborn and is managing so not so worried about him. Can anyone recommend a private agency or give advice on what I can do. I'm working and have teenagers at home that I'm having to neglect somewhat as I'm spending so much time each day atvmy parents. My parents have some money which can be used. Thanks.
