Hi i have ms and my husband has parkinsons we dont have carers as we both manage the best we can apart from changing the beds which my friend normally does but but due to corona she cant, i have been in touch with lots of services but have been told nobody can come out to do it, we are willing to pay, can anyone help please.

Is your friend shielding or very vulnerable herself? Or would she have to take public transport?
If she's able to drive and not shielding, she would be allowed to visit you to change bedding as it counts as a medical need. Ideally she would need to wear appropriate PPE (mask & gloves) while in your house, as any other carer would.
Alternatively, could you ask a trusted neighbour? There are also 'neighbour help schemes' in some areas, so it might be worth looking for one of those. They tend to be advertised on places like Facebook.
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. She only lives round the corner so she walks here, she normally does it for me, shes not shielding and not vulnerable but i would have to ask if she has mask and gloves, thank you again stay safe and well.
I hope you manage to get this done soon.
