The_DADDY Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Has anyone heard of such a thing? Do councils/outside organisations offer a respite service where the young adults can be looked after to allow a parent to get a break, have a rest kind of thing? I've been looking recently but nothing really relevant comes up. Tried to ring the council but their phone 'system' is infuriating so I'm turning to the good folk of Sheffield Forum. Additional... I love banter, a joke, a bit of gentle trolling but on this thread I'd prefer a few serious replies too. Ta.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This single parent lark int easy 😁 I'm sure you're right. I would start by getting in touch with an organisation or society that specialises in their particular problem. (Autism?) They might be able to point you in the right direction to get some help. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep persevering with getting hold of the Council's social care teams so that they can help with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to get an assessment by adult social care. It's this Wednesday so hopefully I'll have some positive news in the coming weeks 🤞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
