Sharron, that is so hard not getting any support. I am now entitled to 28 days respite care but I have to find somebody to come here to care for OH while I go away. I cant put him in a rest home and stay at home myself. My sister in law has said she will come if I want a break but she works on a Wednesday and she has 5 daughters and lots of grandchildren so I couldnt expect her to drop everything and come running and stay for more than a couple of nights. Still, that would be better than nothing. |

Well, Cynthia, today is barely started, just finished breakfast. I hope it is a better day than yesterday. Due to insufficient sleep I was not a 'happy chappiess'. But did get through a bit of tidying and throwing out of stuff. Something I have been trying to do for the last 2 months in case we have to sell up and move to town. Dont want to move but the help for us country yokels is virtually non-existent. |

Linda, my box of chocolates consists mainly of those with Brazil nuts or almonds or coconut, none of which I like. |

hi all, i have a brother with downs who lives with me. I also work for the county council disability service. My role is to find suitable accomodation for people with disabilities either in supported living schemes or in independent housing. If anyone needs advice on housing options for families or individuals then i would be happy to offer suggestions and support. We are also one of the counties which piloted the personal budgets so can also offer info on how it all works! |

I will continue to fight for the retention of our Admiral Nurses ,but as "for dementia" is a charity they only part fund the rest has to come from the local authority and it is they who say they can no longer fund them so another way has to be found and it is not looking good! |

How is everyone coping today. There were several on the last thread who were really struggling but so brave. Hope they have seen this thread and feel they can share their probs with us again. |
