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.
