My Mum is 93 and has poor mobility and very little strength/energy after a hospital stay last summer, but is still able to get to the loo, make a cup of tea, do an online shop. Just tires too qucikly to cook, and can't reach/bend enough to use appliances or dress and undress. She is definitely better than she was but now seems to have 'plateaud'.

Her current care package (2x2 hr) now seems to be more than is needed and the carers often leave early.

I would love to hear what your EPs carers do and how long it takes them (and also if you don't mind sharing, what you pay, wehre you are, and what sort of 'rotation'.

I think there are quite a few of us on these boards who would value this kind of information exchange. ( I will make another post to share what my Mum's do in the less-than-2 hours!)

🙂🙂

Thanks @Lostearrings - but sadly I think Mum's a bit past enjoying outings now. She regards a trip upstairs on the stair lift as something of an expedition!
