I am my wife’s carer, there’s no one else, but i need a knee replacement and am worried about being out of action while recovering.
Can i expect Adult Social care to help?
Yes. As soon as possible ask them to do a Needs Assessment for your wife and a Carers Assessment for you. I have had both knees done, they are great but no way can you do any caring to start with when you are using 2 crutches, then one, for the first 6 weeks. You can’t drive either! Don’t be tempted to ignore what they tell you what to do.
