A Little About Me

I am a man in my 70s living in the Treorchy area with my wife and two dogs. I have a diagnosis of mixed dementia (Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia). My wife is my main carer day to day. I enjoy having company and I am most settled when out in the car. I used to play darts and snooker, but I now only watch these on TV. I like Formula 1 racing and I’m a fan of Ferrari cars.

Purpose of the Role

I am seeking a PA who can support me within the home and take me out for car journeys and local trips. This will also provide my wife with some respite.
