Hi there
Social services are searching for a care home for me. I live in South Devon but all the local homes can only take over 65s and I am 54.
Wheelchair bound, needing hoists. Never been in respite care but hubby needs a break.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Hi have you googled the subject? There will be other paces than care homes for respite with nursing care.
The UK is pretty strapped when it comes to suitable paces to stay, for us who need hoists etc.
Dunno about Devon (gorgeous area). Ill have a google for you. Its the kind of stuff I enjoy researching. I`ve stayed in Blackpool at 2 hotels with or without carers.
Back in a bit kid!

It must be scary for you, have you found a place thats not a nursing home,i do hope so,
when they were looking for respite for me they could only find a place in a nursing home with the elderly and i refused to go.
Hi not sure if you have your laptop with you. If so, how’s it going hun!

Hi everybody Completely new to this, but I have just read your latest chat about respite care, and I’m having same issues finding places to go
Hi B3
You’ve added your comment to a post from 2015. Maybe start a new thread with a new heading.
Sorry can’t help you with suggestions.
