Summary
I am a 73 year old gentleman with vascular dementia. I have 9hrs a week support, to enable my primary carer to complete chores and appointments. I was brought up on a farm, I enjoy nature, wildlife, all animals and talking about cars and have a good sense of humour. I do like 1 to 1 chats but often like peace and quiet too. I would like support to take me to a memory lane choir on a Tuesday morning (9.30am-12.30pm) or stay with me whilst my wife goes. Other support can be flexible, but some occasional weekend work would be required (once a month).
