Hi, mum was diagnosed a few year’s ago but has recently deteriorated and we need to put in place a care package. I have been in touch with social services and am waiting for them to visit for an assessment but in the meantime I urgently need to find carers as I live in London and my parents are in Gloucester. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions for good care providers in Gloucester?
Hello Rachel why not give the Parkinson’s UK helpline a ring. It’s free.
They have certainly helped me in the past.
0808 800 0303
Best of luck

Hi RachelF,
Welcome to our community forum. Steve is quite right. Our helpline is free and confidential and one of the many services our advisors provide is finding care in your area. Again it is 0800 800 0303 and they have been a massive help to many members of our community. You may also find some helpful information on our website’s section on carer’s allowances, here: Carer's Allowance and Carer Support Payment | Parkinson's UK.
We hope these can help with finding care for your mum.
With our warmest welcome,
Jason
