Cic

Just met two very nice and down to earth chaps who will visit three times a day for ten minutes which suits me perfectly. So far so good. 😁👍😍🤗xx

That sounds good, Matthew, glad you have taken the plunge with carers, hope you feel better supported with them coming x

Great news Matthew. I trust they are trained to manage your needs?

Glad you have some help at last.

Very glad that you made the decision to have carers and it sounds like they’re good. I hope that it works as well as you want it to, Lynne x

matthew55 Good news they are down to earth chaps...10 minutes doesn't seem much time...but I'm guessing you feel that's enough. Most care agencies in my area will not provide less than 30 minutes each visit.
Hope it all goes well & you feel the benefits of their support👍

matthew55 That is sooooo good to hear and hopefully it will alleviate some of the boredom and lonliness for you.

But, pardon my ignorance M'Lud... Will they do anything medical in those 10mins or do they keep an eye on you? xx

[denise]

What will they do for you or is it just to make sure you are Ok? Not sure what anyone can do in 10 minutes. That's probably when you've sat on the loo they turn up 🤔

The company I worked for charged a minimum of 30 minutes, even if our work took less than that. I heard about another company that started at 15. Sounds like CIC is a win win! Assuming they aren't too expensive, that is.

matthew55 said CIC are Nurses, not carers. ??

[matthew55]

Well they wear blue and are only here to PEG me. I have asked for just three visits per day. I have asked for other carers but nothing heard yet. 😁xx
