To provide Domestic and social support for friendly lady, to encourage independence.

Walsingham

 

I am a friendly lady in my early 60’s, living with my son who works long hours, and my two friendly dogs (one very elderly). Unfortunately I suffered a brain injury some years ago and have since been diagnosed with other health issues and I therefore required support to maintain my home and ensure that I can get out and about safely. I am very capable of making my own decisions but have memory issues and need time and patience to ensure I don’t become overwhelmed.

 

I have a lovely clean and tidy home, and although I am capable of some household chores will need help with things like vacuuming and making beds. I would also like my PA to have basic cooking skills and be able to prepare simple meals for me, as I can have difficulty around using the cooker safely. My PA will also assist with some basic administration tasks, such as filling in forms, making appointments and ensuring that my repeat prescriptions are up to date. On the social side, I love to have a cuppa and a chat, I enjoy getting out and about and would like my PA to accompany me to do a little shopping (I do have main groceries delivered, but would appreciate my PA keeping an eye on supplies to make sure we have adequate food in the house). I enjoy visiting a garden centre, going out for a coffee, and any other local places of interest. I am able to drive so my PA doesn’t need to, but I do suffer from anxiety which is why I like to have someone with me.
