Hello all,
My dad who is in his mid seventies and cares for my mum who has very severe dementia. He is totally exhausted and would like a break by way of some respite care for my mum but he cannot afford it. He does pay for a carer once a week to bathe my mum at home etc. I would willingly give up my job to care for her and to give him the respite he needs. My question is this:
Could I possibly be paid as my mums full time carer, and if so, off who?
