A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

Elderly lady living in Roath, Cardiff requires a personal assistant to support her with various tasks.

She has severe osteoarthritis which affects her mobility significantly. She is unable to get up from the bed and chair without assistance. She has limited movement in all her joints and struggles to walk (though is able to walk a very short distance with the aid of a frame) Her arms and hands are also affected but she is still able to feed herself, though it’s too difficult for her to cut food up for herself. She also has difficulty chewing certain foods. 

She can become confused and struggles to concentrate for any length of time in conversations but has good and bad days regarding this.
