Our lovely client, Jackie, has recently suffered a major fall and after being discharged home, will be receiving round the clock care.
Jackie will need a caregiver who is patient but persistent and will support her to regain her strength and will be able to do as much as possible for herself. We are looking for a real relationship builder who will try to become friends with Jackie, to understand her and care for her as a friend. What she needs is companionship, someone to lift her mood and make her smile, play some music, and support her where required.
Support will be required with mobility and re-enablement following her operation. Jackie uses a wheelchair and may need support with this. She will also need some support with bathing and grooming, requiring a prompt at times.
