Summary
I am an older lady living in Loughor. I have been diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. I previously ran my own business, but this has sadly now ended. I used to have a good social calendar and would like to be able to still pursue this. My illness does mean that I can sometimes appear quite confused, and my train of thought or sentences may not always be clear and understood. I am seeking a PA who is reliable and kind whom I am able to trust to support and motivate me and to help me live my life as fully as possible. A good sense of humour would be desirable as I love a good joke and banter.
Must have training or experience working with Dementia.
Female preferred.
