Luckily my father in law is only spending £910 a week on his care home fees , absolute bargain
My Granddad was lucky. My aunt lived down the road and he had a Full Senior Local Government pension, and so she employed a team of part time carers, taken from the local village, to take it in turns to get him up, feed him and keep his house clean. She trained each of them, and it included Teenagers looking to go into nursing, mothers, who had children in the local school, and people willing to stay over at night, for an hourly rate which was competitive. Most came from the local church. If there was a problem, they could call her or one of her kids (one was a nurse), if she was on holiday
She considered this more cost effective and he certainly got the right care. This was only possible due to his Pension. And the Power of Attorney.
It also meant that the time she spent with him, was mainly social, and she did not become his carer.
It also meant that the standard of care, was at a level she trained the whole team to provide.
