male carer mornings only

[GrumpyGranny]

Now looking for a responsible male carer to shower, shave, dress my 70 year old husband every morning. Suggestions, advice (I know about checks etc) and / or referrals much appreciated. In SE15 area.

Try Seakr, they are a care agency

Thanks - I had a look and they seem good but don't cover our part of the world (eg SE London)

Southwark Social Services used to have a list of Care Agencies which undertake 'private work' - not sure if they still have this.

Southwark Pensioners Centre may be able to offer some advice/care companies. Age UK also originally had a list of local Care Agencies.

Hi

My name is Michele Simon and I run a small company called Bridewell Care providing care at home around the SE of London. We have a number of care assistants in your area. I don't have any male care assistants at the moment but I'd be happy to come and have a no obligation chat and point you in another direction if we can't help you. Our office number is 0207 900 4123 or my mobile is 07889 409010. Please feel free to call anytime.

Hi Michelle - we have decided to go with Bluebird as my husband is now (suddenly) quite poorly. I could have done with you 6 months ago! But do call round as I am looking for respite care too.

Many thanks Pugwash. You'll see my message above. I'll certainly look at Southwark Pensioners too as I might join myself!
