Are there any groups of people who are full time carers.  Care for my husband who has dementia. Would be nice to get together with others who care for a coffee and a break. Thanks for any replies. Anna-marie x

There will be several professional care companies in your area. It wouldn't be totally safe for your husband to have relatively untrained "Carers"

I believe such groups exist in Torrevieja. 

Have you asked at AFA?

Hello

My wife has Alzheimers and I used a carer for an hour a day.  Now I have a full time live in carer coming tomorrow.   Economically it made sense as she costs us 400 euros a month and the one hour carer cost us 395 a month.  I have also applied for an allowance from the Spanish Social services and expect that to cover the cost.   Have you tried this route?  There is a very good website which vets and offers carers from around the world, costs 69 euros to join.  PM me if you want mor details.

Kind regards

Richard in La Marina

I'm not looking for carers for him yet. I'm looking for other people who care for their partners so I can meet with someone who understands the difficulties of being a full time carer for a coffee and a chat. Thanks for your reply.

Hi my mum has dementia and lives with her boyfriend who is Spanish. She is struggling to sleep so he is unable to care for her anymore . I have a carer who comes from 8pm to 8am but this is €150 a night to is not sustainable financially is it possible to get a live in carer and would this be cheaper as it’s costing me €4000 a month at the moment .They live in a 4 bedroom house 100m from mil palmeras beach so is plenty of room . Please help 🙏 

Thanks
