Just that, where do u start?? Anyone prepared that?
I have looked online but there is no NHS template and SS haven't even mentioned it but I realize it will be needed for respite.
What threw me is that some examples show you have to describe every minute step you do - so it's not enough to say he needs help with food but literally what and how to prepare, serve, cut it up etc.
Then, for personal care, do I have to write every minute step involved in wiping bum, washing hands, showering, brushing teeth? Or even getting to/from table, bathroom etc?
For every hour of the day/day of the week? Are there rules for say, showering every x days or do I have to stipulate what and when they have to do? What if he has a diarrhea, would he not get cleaned?
I might be doing it for days if not weeks. And if something changes when I am not there, will they just not do it? What's about any possible eventualities on different types of food?
I feel totally overwhelmed and don't even know who to formally approach, GP? SS? Respite places? Consultants for each body organs?
Anyone out there who has been through this?
