To provide support and promote wellbeing for woman with complex care needs

Holt, NR25

I am a 61 year old woman with a variety of complex physical and mental health needs. I am mainly bed-bound however my carers do assist me to sit in a chair when I am able. I have agency support throughout the day for my personal care needs and already employ one PA for 6 hours weekly but am seeking a second PA for an additional 6 hours (with the potential to take increased hours providing holiday cover etc).

MY PA’s will assist me by undertaking light domestic tasks, meal preparation and laundry, but most importantly they will keep me company and help prevent me feeling socially isolated.
