Around here agencies now charge £45 an hour for care work. An elderly man is just moving into a care home and will be paying £1600 a week to be looked after.
My heart goes out to Madmeg. 😥. My husband has been in hospital 2 weeks now following a second stroke and they are talking about him coming home early next week. It is what he wants but I have told the staff I don’t feel ready as his balance is off, he has a catheter and he can only walk a few steps with a quadstick in the house. If we go out it’s me pushing him around in a wheelchair which is absolutely exhausting.
