Have you looked into respite care? We have it here in the states, where a caregiver comes in to the home however often you need it, to give the regular caretakers/family a break, sometimes for just a few hours, sometimes for the whole day. Sounds like it might be worth looking into.
- we didn;t get any help here for 13 years now we have direct payment care which basically means we have to sort it ourselves and we pay DD to stay here now while were away which isn;t really the best thing - but its why we got to go away at all!!!! Certainly I wouldn;t want a stranger in this house while I was away and Danny cannot go into a care unit because he is volatile at times and a lot of places wont have him at all unless hes in lock up and I don;t want that for him!!! There are no placements for him here in restbite units. That is why we have to organise care ourselves!!!!!! We also have to do that with Ben too and he has a great girl which really helps us loads right now!!! - it just makes extra stress though as we become employers then with all that to do as well! ITs not really a good way of getting restbite. Anyhow after finding out they put Peadaphiles on the restpite ward at the hospital here would you trust Social services whith your kid!!!!
