I have been looking into getting some respite care for a while now as my mother has severe dementia and it's been affecting me quite significantly and I still really want to pursue it possibly after Christmas when the second lockdown is finally done and dusted, but I keep having anxiety dreams about being disappointed with the place and it being staffed by poorly trained 'chancers'.
Some of my fellow clients at the day centre I attend currently once a week stay there sometimes with no reported issues, but I just can't help imagining all kinds of worst-case scenarios and being powerless to address them, especially if power-crazy chancers with their own hidden agendas might be working there, which happened at the other two respite units I attended when I was younger back in the 90s.
Same also with the residential school I attended back in the late 80s.
