Carers don't know what help they're entitled to. Here's how to change that

"When my dad had dementia I realised how little information the NHS and councils give out." 

Sadly this is something that we find happening all too often and one of the real reasons behind our blog and the Social Care Guy Twitter account here

We look at spreading the word, giving opinion and passing on our family care business's 30 years of experience so that you know what to do, who to turn to and relaxing because things are in place to help.

In this sad example, a simple ‘passport’ could make all the difference

"On Christmas Eve last year, my dad died.

"He had Lewy body dementia and a urinary tract infection.

"Days earlier, he had been awarded NHS fast track funding to pay for his care.

"On the same day, my mum and I finally got a call from the local council to say respite care had been sorted out – care we applied for in April.

"The NHS and local authority’s timing seemed surreal, given our two years of stress and worry providing care at home."

So simply knowing about this fast-track funding could save you stress, heartache and worry.
