Any ideas or recommendations would be much appreciated. Mother is 85 and now frail enough to need some more help.
Basically some cleaning a couple of times a week, maybe the odd errand. (Not personal care as such or cooking, at least for now.)
My only thoughts were:-
- ask at her GPs* surgery for recommendations
- call Age Concern Westminster to see if they have any recommendations
- search the internet for private companies, agencies or individuals. Which ones though?
- She has had a nurse visiting her just recently; maybe she could ask her for recommendations (if she remembers to?)
But really I haven’t a clue as to the best way to go about things. Are there any ideas or experience people have? I’m a bit lost as to where to start.
She will be self-funding.
PS. I live 3 hours away so I will probably have to set up most of this by phone. I think I need to get this in place pretty soon.
