Thank you🤗

Hello Dawn....Scotland is a beautiful country and we lived there for 12 years. y husband needed a carree

r to give e respite but the fors we filled inn said....not available in your area. We libed in the south about 4 iles fro the county town but social serbices could not provide help.

I think if you are looking to ove sei rural and do need significant help then think very carefully.

We moved abroad 8 yrs ago and care was bad then goodness how bad ut is now.

If you are intereted I can give you a contact who will have ore up to date info

Hi Dawn

Might be worthwhile contacting the local authority for info and advice where you're thinking of moving to.

As far as I know it would be a referral through them to social care services to allocate a care package with an external provider if they're not able to take it on themselves.

Take care 😘
