Simon, I have worked in care all my life, as a carer, nurse then care manager. I don't know if your new carer will be live-in or not, or female or male. The most important thing to consider is are they competent? Do they value your privacy, dignity, individuality? Do you actually like them? Are they friend or stranger? Have they had a CRB check? Are they experienced? Will they be there whenever you need them, no matter what time of day or night? There are a lot of things to consider when finding a new carer. Please don't choose the first one you meet. Good luck XX

Hia,

Do you not have some one you know who could be your carer.

Sometimes some one you know can be a good a carer as one who holds the Qualifications.

I understand this as i am around people daily .

X hope you find the rite one, its not all about what they do its communication and 'natural' nature to do things without wrking like a Robot.

Xxxxxhugs xx

I am saying welcome back as I gather from replies you have not been here for a while. But I am saying nice to meet you too as I am fairly new to the site although having been a sufferer for a long time. Sorry I cannot offer any help though
