Mrs D was frail and unwell. Her son was her main carer, but he wasn t coping. We stepped in to help, but they were hostile to outside agencies. They d always lived together and were terrified they d be split up. Our social worker did a great job persuading Mrs D to get hospital treatment and a temporary stay in a care home. In an epic effort throughout COVID, she gained the son s trust and sorted all the repairs, carers and nurses needed so that Mrs D could come home to live with her son. We also got Mr D regular respite and a personal budget awarded in recognition of him as her carer. After all, there s nothing more important than living the life you want.
