However, the CQC states that I do have this right.

The situation I am in now is making me feel worthless and I am asking what is the point of living   have

    Hi @martie1118
    The care company must give you a reason for denying your request, especially when you have a reason for not wanting a male carer. Have you provided the care company with this reason?
