Hello,
My mother has been diagnosed with dementia and i have recently activated Lasting Power of Attorney for Property and Financial affairs and Health and Welfare. I am currently looking at supplying care for my mother on a self funding basis and enquiring about using an individual carer recommended by a professional but not sure what are all the ins and outs about taking on an individual carer and what that involves and will need some advice. My mother has a live in partner who does some of the care like shopping and cooking, and help with medication under the supervision of the mental health nurse. My sister and i live away.
