We are looking for a live in carer for our dear Dad, aged 93yrs., but are finding it difficult. He has terminal cancer of the oesophagus, but is a coherent, friendly man with a good sense of humour. He has become quite frail recently and spends a good deal of time sleeping. He lives near Whitby. Any advice on how we find a good, private live in carer welcome, please.
