I am a 36-year-old woman with learning disabilities and some mobility difficulties, and I live at home in Froncysyllte, with my mum and dad.
I’m looking for additional support to work alongside my existing PA, on a 2 to 1 basis, in order to help me to access activities in the community, and to assist me at home.
Personal care would be involved.
I’m non-verbal but thrive on interaction and need to be included in planning and decision making, and I’m sociable but need support to interact.
I can become overwhelmed. My anxiety needs monitoring and can differ, depending on mood or day. My mobility can also vary and needs to be monitored.
I need a PA to support me in a person-centred way and to help communication and navigation of social situations.
Activities would include: swimming, aqua aerobics, gym, bowling, cinema, eating out, long walks, and hair appointments.
I also enjoy: music, books, food, cooking programmes, choosing recipes, shopping for ingredients, cooking and eating.
