How do we help our son?

Kittylester is there a local volunteers group you could get in touch with who could help your son?

I have a special needs daughter living away from me so I know exactly what you mean. \Is anyone likely to put another PA in place for him.? Seems wrong to take away his helper and not replace. I feel some type of Duty of Care link is being overlooked. If I think of something useful to offer I shall post again. Best wishes to your son and Good Luck.

Our LA has a dedicated helpline for situations such as this kittylester might yours (or your sons) have one too ?

Awful situation for you and him to be in. Poor lad.

Sorry to hear that 'kittylester' it must be very worrying for you. I can only suggest the same that you talk to SS and/or voluntary groups. Does the Housing Association he lives in have any suggestions. When I worked for one we have a special team for those kind of things.

kitty I have pm'd you with the number for the Leicester County Council help line but there are groups on Facebook under your area. There are lots of groups on there who are willing to help - students and volunteers.
It must be worrying - so many things are so frustrating at the moment.

Adult social Services ? They are still contactable being front-line workers who are attached to your local council.

One of my GGC was, in my view, wrongly taken from where she was staying with my D a week ago to a " home " ( staff run )specializing in behavioural/ADHD problems, during the lockdown ? as it had been suggested by the local authority so I know they're operating.

Thank you for the suggestions.

gilly, the lad is 50 next year.

He is quite capable in all respects but has left sided weakness/lack of function following a stroke.

And too flipping independent for his own good. But I will keep these ideas for next time one of us has a chat about it.

It is just a suggestion but could he manage to Kay out a duvet cover and sleep inside instead of top and bottom sheet, if you see what I mean.

The ones that open at the side are easy to get into and he wouldn’t have to do it up.

I hope I don’t sound as if I’m minimising his disability.

lay not Kay. Sorry

Well he’s 8 years younger than me kitty which makes him a lad to me .

Is he able to go out for an hour or so whilst one of his siblings/your cleaner go in on a weekly basis?

Spring chicken gilly.

Riverwalk I suggested that but 'he's fine!'

eglantine that might work in the hot weather!

Would anyone else like to ring him for me?
