I contacted Single Point of Access -Focus at 2.30 am to request a Best Interest Decision this morning on her future care and accommodation needs .
Maureen has kept me awake for most of the night because she has an infection.
I will seek an appointment with her GP this morning to try to prevent a heavy cold becoming something more serious.
A home visit may well be necessary and will be available if needed: we can always depend on Clee Medical Centre.
Our social worker is not working today so I have requested the Duty Manager to facilitate the Best Interest Decision.
To put it mildly, I am rather tired: no Care Partner can sustain being on duty 24/7.
Footnote: Posted a little earlier this morning in a quiet moment as Maureen sleeps.
Dementia: Sharing The Good Times 
You are so right, no one can be on duty 24/7 which is why many who try end up burnt out which is no help to anyone

The trick is to recognise you are heading that way before it happens. So great you do which will, hopefully, lead to a workable outcome for you

Not able to sleep as Maureen is coughing her heart out. How fortunate we have such an excellent G P who has advised me so well how to spot the danger signs.
