My live-in carer was originally coming to support me in looking after my husband while my son and his family were on holiday in Spain for 2 weeks. As it turned out, my husband, who is 88, has Alzheimer's and is very frail, fell and broke his hip in July, and by the time the carer came he had been in
hospital and then moved to an assessment bed in a care home. My son still wanted the carer to come and support me while he was away as I was exhausted and vulnerable after 5 years of caring for him at home.
So the carer arrived and we got on really well from the start. She did all the driving, to give me a break, visited the care home with me every day and was proactive in talking to the nursing staff, taking Brian into the garden to eat his lunch and get some fresh air, and interact with him, which was so helpful. She did all the cooking and washing up, took us for trips out (which I hadn't been able to have) and was all-in-all a wonderful companion, and I really missed her when she left.

Got an absolutely lovely live in carer for my mum for 2 weeks after she had a long stay in hospital
Couldn't do enough for her & gave me such peace of mind as I couldn't be there.
Would throughly recommend.
