Meet our Client

Our client is a vibrant soul who sustained an acquired brain injury (ABI) following a choking incident. Though non-verbal, his personality beams through every smile, every tear, and every shared moment. He lives independently in his own home and is supported by a close-knit, loving family who are actively involved in his care journey.

He’s a wheelchair user, has a PEG, and requires full personal care with double-handed support. Communication is beautifully unique — he understands both Welsh and English and responds with expressive smiles or tears. If you’re someone who can “read between the lines” and connect beyond words, you’ll thrive in this role.
