Faith Elder. I am the founder and owner of the Faith Elder Beauty Academy in Dundee. I am a teacher, trainer, mentor, and coach. My passion is all things beauty, people, and learning. There is nothing I love more than teaching and watching my students learn a skill, and grow in confidence, many of them even open their own businesses.
I run my business with one other therapist. My typical working week is 6 days and around 60 hours. Sadly, my father passed away on the 10th of March 2024.
The following day, my father-in-law became very unwell due to his dementia. It was decided by his other son and daughter-in-law to place him in a care home for respite for two weeks until his medication was sorted out to suit his illness. However, those two weeks turned into months, and we didn’t know where to turn or who to get advice from.
My father-in-law was deteriorating rapidly in the home and was very unhappy. My sister has lost her husband to dementia she was a great help to us, and I also reached out to Valerie for help and advice. If it hadn’t been for them, we would have been in a very tough situation. The social worker took sides with my brother and sister-in-law, wanting to keep my father-in-law Charlie in the Care home. She provided no help and put obstacles in our way, which led us to complain and be assigned another social worker.
My sister filled out all the necessary forms for us, and my husband worked hard with cindy to get all the paperwork in place. Five months ago, we sought legal advice and were given the go-ahead to take my father–in–law Charlie out of the care home and bring him to his own house.
My husband, John, moved in with his dad for the three weeks he was at home. He works offshore, so when he returned to work, I was running back and forth 4 times a day to Forfar either that or going to get my father-in-law and bring him to Dundee to my house to work from home or drop him off at my mum’s house. My business suffered, and my health and sleeping patterns deteriorated.
I became exhausted and unwell. Again we were offered no help, As a family and left with no choice but a care home, we decided to do this ourselves.
The social work department did nothing to help us, apart from trying to steer us away from the Self-Directed Support (SDS) option, instead suggesting three 20-minute visits a day.We were told he was only entitled to one wash a week by the social worker.
I now have a carer in place who lives around the corner from him. We have the support of my sister, my mother, and John’s aunt, uncle, and cousin, Paul. We take turns on a rota and look after him every weekend. I am only now managing to find a balance between work and family life.
Our new social worker is somewhat better; however, we are still waiting for social work to organize his SDS funding. This process has taken 6 months. I believe there should be a dedicated department within social work specifically for families that need help, as the information and support are not readily available. If it hadn’t been for my sister and Valerie sharing their knowledge, we would be no further forward.
My father-in-law has been home for five months now, and my husband is just signing the SDS contract. I am appalled that social work enabled John’s brother to keep his dad in a home when he has a lovely home of his own. He can do everything for himself except for cooking. All he needed was help, not a nail in his premature coffin.
