A little about myself:
I am an older gentleman living in Sketty with my wife. I have Motor
Neurone Disease which affects both my speech and my mobility. I
communicate using an app on my iPad. I’m able to walk a little and I use a mobility scooter to get around downstairs and grabrails help me walk upstairs. I am looking for a PA to help me and to allow my wife to have some respite and take some time away and possibly travel. I would like someone who could, when needed, make me an evening meal and to stay overnight and administer my medication and ensure I’m safely in bed and up in time for my carer in the morning. I have a spare room at home where you would stay.
