A man from Sketty has put out a desperate plea after his mum has gone 12 weeks without essential at-home care for her series of health conditions since moving house. Robert Conipane has been trying for months to organise personal care for his mother Christine Thomas, who is in remission from cancer and suffers from asthma, emphysema, cardiovascular disease and severe mobility issues - but no companies have agreed to pick up the care package.
Miss Thomas is only 58 but Robert said the situation has reached a point where she's completely isolated and is too scared to leave the house due to the unhygienic and lonely conditions she's living in. She can only move short distances with a walking aid and needs care twice a day, which she's currently not receiving.
Robert told WalesOnline: "She has a long list of ill health and needs. She can't manage her own personal care and can't bend down. Mum got in a rut in the old place because she didn't have anywhere to go and it was really difficult because she became socially isolated. With this move we were hoping she could start living again because it feels like her life has just come to a stop.
