My conditions means that I require support with all aspects of my daily living and suitable candidate will need to be able to support me with various tasks throughout the day, these include but are not limited to personal care, physio, administering of medication, nebulizer. I enjoy going out and my preference is that I go out every day to access community. I usually go in my Motability car where one Personal Assistant would drive and the other would ensure I am safe throughout the journey. I like to go to various places from shopping centers, parks to coffee shops and more entertaining venues such as Disneyland.
