Our client is a gentleman in his late 30’s with a real zest for life. He lives on his own in a supported living complex where we support him on a 1:1 basis. He requires support with all his personal care, medication, moving and handling, nutrition/ hydration and accessing the community. He does live in a remote location (East Malling) so being a driver would be ideal but not necessary – however, our client does have his own car which he likes to use for day’s out – Spending time at home with our client is equally fun as he has a wicked sense of humour which he displays when watching his favourite programmes or engaging in games.
