Joseph is an 89-year-old gentleman who lives alone in Dumfries and has recently been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Joseph is in the early stages of his condition and is still relatively independent, which is positive. However, due to the nature of MND, this will change over time, and he will be unable to carry out most daily living tasks. At this stage, we are looking to recruit a PA for 10 hours weekly for meal prep support and to help dress Joseph each morning, with the view of increasing those hours (if available) to meet Joseph's care needs when his condition begins to deteriorate further. Joseph enjoys spending time with family and friends and especially likes to be outside and socialising as often as he can.
