JOB DESCRIPTION

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am an elderly lady living in Barry. I try to lead an active lifestyle; The activities I enjoy are, singing, walking. I enjoy going out in the car and having a picnic lunch. Most communication that is a task is spoken through song or sign language and we have very holistic approach towards my care and support. I can get tired so there are days where I am happy looking at my photographs and cards that I have collected over the years.

I love looking at art books and flower arranging. I have a hearing impairment and have late Alzheimer’s.

Due to late-stage Alzheimer's disease, I can sometimes become confused about where I am, what day it is, or who people are. I may struggle to communicate clearly, follow conversations, or remember recent events.
