Granny minders

I've always thought it would be an excellent idea to have someone with a normal family home who could take an extra visitor.

I'm sure I saw years and years ago, that kind of set up, but whether it ever became "a thing", I've no idea.

I do know a couple of people who take older people to play bingo and have a cuppa,,or to a lunch club.

I was just going to suggest AgeUK @ petra.

My son says there is such thing as ‘Adult Daycare’ in the US, where you can drop off elderly relatives for the day much in the same way you do the little ones. I wonder if there is a UK equivalent?

Give AgeUK a ring. There might be a befriender in your area.

I think more info is needed on the ‘granny’ and why you are looking for such a place?

Some care homes offer day places without being on their waiting list. Should the ‘granny’ need help, why not employ an Agency to drop in for half an hour a few times a day?

Maybe some sort of Day Club run by the LA/Council, if they still exist.

I have not heard of that. It probably also depends on how old and how able the ‘granny’ is. Good luck !
