My mother-in-law who has severe mobility issues from myeloma was sent home from hospital yesterday and the #AgeUK volunteers left her sitting on a sofa she couldn't get up from. Carer not booked till following morning due to snafu. I tried to help her get up and her strength gave way and I hurt my back. I'm still looking after my husband who had a stroke last month

Another specialised #Helpline: this time for 55+y.o in UK. who need someone to talk whether because of #loneliness or for other reasons. I hadnæ previously reälised that #TheSilverLine was originally trialled in #Manchester & #IOM prior to going national. These days it is a part of #AgeUK.

Herewith the link to the about page on the #SilverLine dedicated website.
