Respite care at home

Hi

Has anyone had respite care delivered at home from someone living in?

The hospice don't do inpatient respite care unfortunately, which is the only place Mum is likely to agree to go to.

I need a break as can feel my patience has run out and feel relief when Mum goes once a fortnight to day hospice. It isn't her I know but her moods and behaviours are making me lose my sanity. I know people take it out on their closest but it is so hurtful at times. I can't do right for doing wrong. Her memory and confusion don't help matters.

I'm trying to get respite at home too. Nothing yet. Amen to feeling worn out. It's so hard isn't it.
