As the majority of professional staff are not at work today I will deal with our experiences on Saturday morning tomorrow.   What I am intending to do is to suggest an interim Code of Conduct for Care Agencies and Carers. This will hopefully avoid a stranger arriving on our doorstep, ever again, without: any prior knowledge of Maureen; our set up; or training in dementia awareness.

Todays post is my tentative attempt to help family members be supportive over Christmas.   It is a copy of an Email that I sent yesterday  to clear up any misunderstanding over our capacity during the Festive period:
