My father has been paying privately for carers since April 2024. A community care assessment was requested in August last year but this was not communicated properly and the request was then taken in November 2024. It is now May 2025 and this has yet to be completed.
He has a diagnoses of macular degeneration, hearing loss and dementia. He lives alone and is unable to safely manage his own medication, cooking or leaving the house to attend appointments.
This has been left for me to manage despite having a fulltime job and my own health issues. Additionally this is costing my father the best part of £1000 per month just to keep him safe never mind adequately supported.
