Help with housing

My mam is in hospital, she'll not cope alone when she comes out. I have a 1 bedroom bungalow and she has a 1 bedroom flat. We would like a 2 bedroomed flat or bungalow, so I can take care of her, I've had a strike, so running up and down is not for the best for me, but I can look after mam. We would like to know if you are able to help in finding new accommodation. I'm with Gateshead council and mam is Bernaccia. Thanyou

  • Hello Linda26

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's situation. It's obviously a difficult time for you both. 

    If your Mum is still an inpatient at the hospital then ask to speak to a Social Worker on the ward as they will be able to advise you about housing with your local council. You can also talk to Citizens Advice for support and information regarding your housing situation. 

    I do hope that you're able to resolve things quickly. 

    Best wishes,
