Hi Lala

Hope the information that Moderator Lucie posted was of some help. When my husband was terminally ill one of the things we were able to arrange was for a 'key safe' to be fitted so that friends/neighbours/carers/doctors could let themselves in as and when necessary (as it could take some time for him to get to the door towards the latter stages). This was arranged through local social services who also have links to other practical needs. Your Mum'sGP/district nurses may also have a 'recommended' list of a local 'befriending' services/private carers and as Lucie has mentioned Age UK do offer various household services.

I hope you are receiving support as a family as such a diagnosis has wide-reaching affects on all those involved. The forum is a great place to chat and share feelings anytime you need a bit of extra support and understanding. Best regards Jules54
