Setting up a company to help look after my mother seemed like a good idea but ended in a headache
It was my worst nightmare. Setting up a company, taking charge of a payroll, sorting out holidays and tax and national insurance for other people. Becoming an employer.
But that’s what it had come to. At 93, my mother, Marje, was no longer capable of looking after herself but she didn’t want to leave Manchester to live with me or my sister in London; nor did she want to live in a home for elderly people.
