Craigy,
You should have an allocated social worker either from the hospital that gave the diagnosis or form the local social services department.
Ask them for a further assessment of need ( A Care Act assessment) they have a legal obligation to visit, assess, and provide services to meet his and your needs at home, and if it gets too much for you then also admit into a end of life establishment ..hospice / nursing home etc
Contact the local hospice and inform them of father - they will also pay a visit and see whats services at home they can provide.
Fathers GP can refer directly to the Fall Prevention service
Have a read of this and contact them.

Craigy. I work ( part time these days) at a large hospital in south London in a medical capacity in the Neurological and Memory assessment service area ( mostly problematic dementia and also A&E pathway head injury and brain trauma......accidents, car accidents , violence). I spend a great deal of time around family's who are doing the best they can, often without any support and in very stressful situations caring / supporting a loved one at home through the journey and up to end of life care. It always amazes me ho few know whats available, if only they ask for it. Services for terminally ill p[patients is usually alleyways fast tracked..you mentioned your fathers fall earlier....have you contacted the falls prevention servcie...it may be to late to get him fully back on his feet but they can provide a lot of equipment at home and physio etc
I've worked in this field for over 30 years and I can honestly say that there is nothing as difficult as providing support to a love one who has a degenerative illness - I hope you are in the system. There can be a lot of help and practical support out there but you must ask for it, and make sure your fathers registered with Macmillan nurses who have a very good outreach service in the community and can provide immediate respite beds in local hospices if it all gets too much for you and family - especially the last stage. I went through it with my mother, who is no longer alive and i am just starting again with my 96 year old father - but he lives over 100 miles away on his own. Its only just beginning but I can see whats coming only too well. The good thing about going through all this now is that later, sometime in the future you will always know that you did your best for your dad and not feel what sometimes happens a feeling of guilt that you could have done more.
HD, like you I’ve muted the turkeys who voted for Christmas too but get can pretty much guess the drivel they’ve put up.
Craigy, I’m sure advertising and promotions will increase massively soon but you don’t spend countless $’s on advertising for a product that isn’t out and available to the masses! No point enticing the public with expensive ad campaign only for them to not be able to buy your products. Chicken and egg scenario.
Toblerone,
I have the trolls filtered but can see this “debate” from your post.
FWIW my simple fact and take on this is:
Smoker Friendly carried Chill in a handful of stores some time ago, and sales were high enough to convince them to stock it across their entire network.
That isn’t going to happen with 1 item a day let alone - an item a week!
I’d imagine the sales start of with “The Silent Salesman” cabinet on the shelf, and pick up over time as more people try them and word of mouth spreads etc.
Put simply. There is no way the chain would take it on across the entire network if sales were not strong. There is no reason they would continue the rollout if sales were poor either.
People just need to be sensible and put two and two together, they are rolling it and stocking it in all their stores.
And lots of those stores have great big “Chill sold here” stickers slapped on the front of them as you have found, the largest of which seems to cover some 20% of the glass on the entrance door on the front of the store!
Craigy......Smoker Friendly helped launch ZYN....
You can see them all over the place now, including UK supermarkets.....
The likelihood BB2 actually called anyone is about the same probability that TW “sent an agent” physically into an Ox store back in December in the middle of a pandemic....
With regards to additional promotions wait until the new international, multi-language, state of the art, e-commerce websites are launched, which won’t be far away now....
And when Chill is in a high proportion if not all SF stores expect them to be promoting it like they did Zyn......
Tick Tock.....
Craigy. That is exactly the point of my post !
Today when a company launch a product it is all over social media and the internet in general, so to raise brand awareness and get people to try product. That old saying there's no point having a shop on the web , if no one knows your shop exists, is true. I am expecting Zoe to have some kind of promotional event or something in the US, and hope to be able to see this happening PLUS whatever they do, their should be lots of user commencements and reviews posted for us to enjoy reading. At the moment there is just silence.
Its the quietest new product launch the world has ever seen.....
If they are selling well, then it shouldn't be long before we see some independent reviews of Zoe's products up against the competition. This is done regularly form what i can see and is outside the control of any company. At present I cannot find any independent user reviews, comments, or even mentions of the Chill Brand.
It will be interesting to see how the company are going to publicise their new products now they are actually on the shelf. The internet is the obvious first choice ....so will surely be thinking about how they are going to let the public know about their brand. Some sort of association and links to American football - i seem to remember was muted some time ago.
And that 2.9 mill population in Denver is a x bigger that 58 thou is n great falls
Ok so a little deeper research on billybiys claim of chill selling in Montana smoker friendly store.
So I like that he picked a store in Montana close to Canadian border with a population of 58000 people. What was his claim 1 item per week selling.
Colorado Springs with a population of 738000 people has 4 SF stores stocking chill. Speaking with some of these stores it appears sales are strong.
Denver with 2900000 million people in its surrounding area has 13 stores selling chill and once again from a few phone calls they are seeing strong sales from a standing start.
So the good point is that Chill has reached out from Colorado to Wyoming and to Montana in the first months of trading
