council money to care for

sick / ill to be up all night
My dad is 73, severely disabled and terminally ill. The council gives him an amount of money for 21 hours care a week. He uses
that money to employ a carer. She
comes in the week when I am working and I care for him at the weekends.
There are a number of problems. She has arthritis
so she can't do any substantial cleaning or shopping which I do at the
weekend. Another problem is that her English isn't very good. As a consequence I also have to deal with
anything that requires good speaking or reading like making
appointments etc.
Now my father can't cook for himself and can't
get to the fridge. He has to ask his carer to help.
Unfortunately she can't read the dates on packets and sometimes gives him food which is off and makes him
ill. Last night she gave him salmon that was five days old and he was
up all night being sick etc. I have write her lists of what food she
should give him and when but she can' t understand them either. Any
suggestions? Thanks ever so much.
