i have been looking after my dad now for 4 years he lives with me he gets AA and i get CA but it is becoming very hard for me as i have a disabled husband and look after and my grandchildren i just need help with him in the mornings as that when i struggle other than that i can cope well , can i have someone come in the morning to get him washed and dressed if so how much does it cost and how do i go about it i have tried finding out online but i just keep going round in circles my father would be the one paying for this service as i myself live on benefits and my dad only gets a state pension and pension credit
