@Susan60 I moved my parents into a granny flat in my home 26 years ago and have been their carer ever since. Initially it was just providing a home for them with all costs covered. Then it was doing their admin, and driving for them after Dad gave up his driving licence. The level of care rose over the years, and took a steep jump after we had Covid in the house. My wife of 12 years, supports me in supporting my parents, the extra pair of hands, the driver when we can't park at the hospital, etc. I did the dirty end of hands on care when Dad went downhill (due to a brain tumour we didn't know about) that put him in respite care while I rearranged their home to suit. Dad died before he could come home. Mum had a Strep A infection, so we had a wet room and wheelchair ramp installed. My wife and I are planning a retirement move to Wales, hopefully next year, to a small holding, and Mum is coming with us.
