A mother's love ❤️ 93-year-old Barbara MacArthur from Cardiff on caring for her autistic adult son during the coronavirus pandemic
A 93-year-old mother has spoken about caring for her disabled adult son during the coronavirus pandemic.
Barbara MacArthur, from Cardiff, said some days she was"exhausted" and that she and son Howard, 66, had been"fed up" during lockdown.Cardiff council said it contacts people and provides services when it becomes aware of those needing help. Mrs MacArthur, a former police officer and social worker, said:"I suppose we give the impression that we are OK, which is partly our fault. We probably put on a brave face.Her son has learning difficulties and physical disabilities and is recovering from the effects of sepsis.
Early in lockdown, Mrs MacArthur said she could not shop online because all the supermarket delivery slots were booked. So her local Senedd member Jenny Rathbone raised her case with bosses at Tesco to make sure they could order groceries."I suppose we are better off than most people," she said.
