A bit about me:
I am a 51 year old lady, I live in my own home with 24 hour support. I like being in my own safe surroundings where I know where everything is and I enjoy my set routine. Although I have limited language I understand what is being said to me and enjoy talking about what I am doing. I really enjoy helping with my routine household tasks like sorting the laundry, making teas and coffee and helping in the kitchen at meal times. I enjoy being in my little garden tending the flowers and filling up the birdbath. Inside the house I like to colour and practise my cutting skills and with help, doing jigsaw puzzles. In general, I like to lead on activities that I want to do but I also sometimes need to be prompted and encouraged to try different things.
