ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL

An elderly lady residing in Barry seeks a dedicated companion to enhance her quality of life. She enjoys an active lifestyle filled with activities such as singing, walking, and attending cultural events like theatre and cinema. Dining out and exploring local shops are also among her favorite pastimes. Communication often occurs through song or sign language, reflecting a holistic approach to her care and support. While she may experience fatigue, she cherishes moments spent reminiscing over her treasured photographs and cards.

This individual has a passion for art books and flower arranging. She faces challenges due to a hearing impairment and mid to late-stage Alzheimer's, which can lead to pronounced dementia symptoms. Behavioral changes, including moments of suspicion towards unfamiliar individuals, may occur. Confusion regarding her surroundings or the day of the week is also possible. Her daughter plays a vital role in providing support and will assist in the transition to a new companion.

Once a bond is established, she can be quite sociable, engaging in conversations and enjoying outings within the community.

JOB PURPOSE
