Personal budgets helped Alicia to be more independent
13/09/2012
I used to get 10 hours a week of domiciliary care to help me at home. They helped me to cook, clean and sort out my bills and letters. Some of the people who helped me were good and some were not good at their job. Some turned up late and left early.
Now I have a personal budget instead, I can pay for a better agency to help me where they find people that I get on with and help me in the way I need. I even now get help to go to the gym as this is very important to me.
