A little about myself:
I am an elderly lady living in Llanmorlais. I am sadly unable to walk or weight bear following a fall last year. I have carers who come 4 times a day to support with all my personal and hygiene needs, including helping me into and out of bed, washing, dressing. I therefore would not require any additional assistance. I am looking for a PA to provide Respite overnight. This would enable my daughter, who is my primary carer, to have a break.
