I appears that you can request an assessment of your husband's needs, and your own, from Adult Social Services. They will either organise it for you, or refer you to a list of approved agencies. Since you live in Scotland it may well be that personal and nursing care will be free, without even a means test.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-1812735017040047502014-12-19T15:05:29.157+00:002014-12-19T15:05:29.157+00:00If you wish to continue the Archie sweater, even t...If you wish to continue the Archie sweater, even though he has yet to try it on.......start a sleeve.

You might start with your clinic to see if its a covered service, although that night also mean that you have no choice of provider. In the years that I was a medical social worker, I found that people often resisted getting help with bathing and personal care until I reminded them that if they fell in the bathroom, they would most likely be naked when the paramedics found them...that usually changed their mind.

I have been weqring trousers in the winter for years, and cannot cope if they don't have pockets. It goes without saying that I have to negotiate the bottom of a sweater, or something, to get a hanky out. Poor dears can't cope with that. All of a piece with they way they put a jumper on.jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.com
