Mum now settled into her care home, quite pleased so far. Staff are lovely, she seems fairly content, the relief is surprising for me. I no longer find myself jumping every time the phone goes, all a lot calmer, thank goodness!
Now faced with dismantling her home, our family home. First step is to find a new home for the stair lift. Only three years old, bought at some cost, and I now find that nobody will buy them back and we may have to pay to have it taken away. I have a feeling that some of the companies selling them, usually to elderly people, maybe taking advantage or is that me being cynical? I am trying to realise as much as I can to help pay care home fees and it seems wrong, on so many levels, that this expensive piece of equipment may end up at the dump.. I would rather it went to someone who needed it than for that to happen !
Any ideas?
