    This might seemk like a shot in dark, but promised I’ld ask, based on getting brilliant recommendations from posts before.

    Basically there are an elderly, couple who require 24hr x 7day live-in care in their own home, in Salthill area of city.
    The lady requires a walking frame and would need assistance in dressing/bathing etc.
    The man has weak heart, and is on alot of medication.
    24hr care is needed (live-in on basis that someone might need assistance during night) with meals.

    They had a carer who they were very fond of, for last year but who had to leave because of a family tragedy in their home country.

    Would appreciate a PM if anybody knows of anybody who has become available.

    The family don’t want to go through the care type agencies because of associated overhead costs and not really being in control of type of individual that is sent (no disrespect intended). They do not want to go via paper ads, as direct recommendation would be preferred.

    Would naturally be open to being shared.
