Can anyone advise me how to find a carer on a short term basis
Perhaps for3 to 4 days and nights
Most companies want me to sign up for a long term contract
And respite homes only offer me a fortnight at a time

@KK1 keep seeing a company called helping hands advertised , they seem to fit what you want. I don’t know anything about them so I can’t say if they are good or bad.
Hi, @kk. It’s lovely to see you back on the forum, but I’m sorry to hear that you’re finding it difficult to arrange care at the moment. Hopefully other members who have organised short-term or overnight care will be able to share their experiences and suggestions.
You’re also very welcome to give our free helpline a call on 0808 800 0303. Our advisers can talk through your situation and help point you towards care and support options available locally that may be worth exploring.
I hope you’re able to find something that works for you
