Hope this helps every company is different he may be able to use his annual leave or take a leave of absence maybe depending on his job he could work from home. At the company I work for there is no paid leave for carers
I only know from my own time off caring for my son Im signed off with stress due to famly I recieved company sick pay and Im now recieving ssp which I believe runs for 28 weeks not sure what happens after that.
He should speak to his HR department and read though his employment contract.
I echo what you have already been advised. I was given a week of compassionate leave to care for my husband when he was discharged after surgery (I was in the Police). When I was discharged after major cancer surgery my husband had to take 2 weeks unpaid leave (he worked in a school). Meanwhile my brother had to take a few weeks off to care for his wife who has M&S and a brain tumour - he works for a private company and he had to get a sick note from his GP (for stress) as he couldn't afford to take unpaid leave for a few weeks. I hope your husband's employer are helpful & accommodating.
Im so sorry to hear what you and your family have gone through. I appreciate you taking the time to help me. I will take on board your advice. Take care
