Home care and late-evening calls

Hello,

Are there any home care agency users out there who have "late" evening visits — i.e. 10:30?

I find it difficult to find a company that will come at a time I feel appropriate for my (middle) age. Anything after 9pm — 8pm with some — seems to be as if they're making a special allowance, and it's really restrictive.

Having recently completed a course with the London School of Journalism, I’m thinking about putting my experiences into a feature to raise awareness, as I can’t be the only one in this situation. On the flip-side, I don’t want the feature to be solely about me — or about me at all, preferably — so I'm seeking other views.

Please keep any replies quite general. Do not include any personal details or company names.

I look forward to reading your experiences.

    Hello @Ian_H.

    I don’t have any personal experience myself, but this is a really interesting topic and it sounds like there may be a real gap in the system. I hope you’re able to get some helpful responses. We'd love to hear how you get on so please keep us updated.

    Thanks for the comment. Bit quiet so far, but early days.
