Hi all,
I bust my neck 15 years ago and was in Stoke Manderville from Aug 91-March 92. I now need full time care. When I left hospital to live independently, the amounts of ags I had with new carers and agencies was well mental. Useless cooks, can’t do this, never heard of that, “You want me to put that....Where?” And that was just the agencies... Still we all got horror stories...Cos of this, me done something about it. After years of agencies and carers, I gave my input and knowledge to a new CSCI registered agency, about how people have different routines, the problems and emotions faced when going to live independently and dealing with people generally.
If anyone knows anyone who may need a live in carer , or need one yourself, and want to know more. Be great to hear from ya...
Thanks for reading my message.........
