My Mother has alzheimers and needs personal care. For the last year we 've been using HSE help to provide the 24 hour care at home that she needs.
HSE have now agreed to provide an hour on the weekend. However they say the way the weekend team works for all the different agencies under contract work is a rota so it won't be the same carer most weeks, but a 1 in 4 rota, e.g 4 different carers over 4 weekends.
As anybody with an Alzheimers/dementia loved one knows consistency is really important.
My folks are based in temploegue. Anybody else know anything about this and does it a 1 in 4 rota actually work this way?
