I personally don't feel supported by my local community in relation to my grand parents. We had to select a home in another town and county, some 25 minutes drive away, as my local authority couldn't help. This was raised with my local AGE UK branch and CAB, but nether could really help, as their powers are limited.
I'm so sorry paulj67
Guess there is a gap between NHS / LA aspirations and what actually happens in reality.
