Jon Redpath <[email protected]> Feb 21 10:35PM ^ <> Micheal, try your local Social Work dept. I work as a carer in Scotland and we have ( a very few ) Respite Centres specifically for Carers or the Cared for. Costs are usually met by Social Work. Get a good rest, the work you are doing is very tiring and stressful.

Doreen has been to at least four respite care homes licensed by the council/PCT. She was poorly cared for and miserable in all of them. I was so annoyed that I wrote a report on care homes and sent it to the PCT, who were pleased to receive it. It served me in good stead when I refused to let Doreen to go to one again. She now has 24 hr live-in care every 12 weeks (instead of six) so that I can get away, but through carelessness it has reached 17 weeks and I am absolutely (adjective of your own choice here). There are no homes for couples here and in any case I need to get right away in order to switch off. Changes are being made following my report and the person concerned now applies the ‘Muskett Test’ to any changes or new projects. But organizations are so inflexible I think the ‘Musket Test’ would be more appropriate! I think I have found a place, very rural but not cheap, far from the madding crowd.

"Colin" <[email protected]> Feb 22 01:00AM ^ <> Yes the Social Workers may even have a list of places to stay on their books. Sometimes the charities or local groups for a particular disability may have access to accommodation as well and that includes for the carers as well. A short break would be very welcome I am sure. It's a demanding job. As regards a tune book, I prefer an A3 size myself (fits into a case well and easier to prop up without the pages folding down). The Northumbrian Pipers Society do their tune books in this format and it seems quite popular). Take care, Colin. Surely you mean A4 onA3 paper, like the Method? I thought a smaller format might be more convenient for putting in a case, as the NUPS used to be. I haven’t seen their latest publications – no time to play.
