I dont know all the ins and outs .... Sorry .... You deserve respite on both counts of your own and your pops health issues.  I was rejected for respite in December ... when they even told me to pack my bag and attend at facility .... said I was too well . ... and it was better off if I could stay out of inpatient ... as I never have been admitted before ... a child caring for aged parent should weigh in heavier for respite than other situations ...

We havent spoke for ages ... wots happening?
