Joyce is 89 years old, and she has lived alone since her husband Walter died ten years ago. Joyce. has dementia and sometimes feels frightened, confused, and lonely. Her son David lives in New Zealand, and he can’t visit as much as they would like to.

Joyce needs support with various daily tasks for an hour or so a few times a week. Are you someone who can help Joyce get out of bed in the morning and have a bath and to get dressed? Joyce can bathe herself, but she needs a little support to undress andget into the bath. She may also need reassurance that you are not too far away if she struggles to get out of the bath. Joyce will also need some help to dry her back, rub moisturising cream into her legs, help her get dressed, and brush her hair. (This isall light personal care).

It would be lovely if you could make her a cup of tea and some breakfast, get her medication ready and remind her to take it, she might also need you to run the vacuum cleaner around, do a little dusting or put her laundry into the washing machine.

Joyce understands that you can’t stay all day with her because you have other people to visit. However, she will look forward to your next visit because of the warmth and empathy you have shown to her.
