Daughter of a Householder in Wandsworth October 2023
The transition from child of your parent to the parenting of your parent is a strange and emotional one. Frustration, grief, guilt and a sense of isolation litter a winding path of seemingly endless limitations! Into this fog comes Share and Care Homeshare. An oasis of clear, concise information and kindness. Above all kindness.
Share and Care Homeshare gave me time and support. The process of matching a live-in support / companion was simple. Helping my mum stay in her home for an extra year.
And what a companion! I could not have got through the last 18 months without her. She walked through the door and became part of the family, another daughter, a friend and confidant.
The service that this charity provides is INVALUABLE. They gave me peace of mind, flexibility, gentle care that was not intrusive. They treated my mum with respect and patience and found an answer to our urgent need in an amazing woman. Who has become part of our extended family.
‘ Thank you’ is too simple a sentiment for the deep gratitude that we feel for Share and Care Homeshare.
