Extend support bubbles to include those living on their own with dependents.

Petition Details

My elderly parents live on their own. My father has dementia alongside bipolar disorder and relies completely on my mother. She is unable to leave him, and he follows her around the home - even to the extent of waiting outside the bathroom door when she uses the toilet. They need a support bubble.

Additional Information

It seems to me that my mother’s position is even worse than someone who lives on their own - who is able to do things independently without the strain of caring full time without relief for someone else - yet without the support that a single person is able to have of forming a support bubble.

For many in this situation - extending a support bubble will lead to an immensely improved quality of life and save the NHS valuable resoures having to pick up the pieces when carers can no longer cope.
