Hi, I havn't read all the posts above so appologies if ths as been mentioned before,
going through somthing similar my self, well caring and trying to do whats best for parents.
Age concern are a great source for help and info, also would highly recomend a social worker, Iknow they can somtime seem like a pain in the ass, but they can also be a huge help.
There's also attendance allowance, and a lot more help you can get, just need to know were to look.
Age Concern will be able to point you in the right direction.
And no its not scrounging, 1 you pay in to the system for theese times when you need a helping hand
2 you'll be helping the local council out, as a nursing home would be charging about £900 a WEEK.
