Carer

arer – Hawick – 2447

I

am an elderly lady living in Hawick with my son. I am looking for a kind, patient and caring person to help me each morning at approximately 10.30am for around an hour. I need full support to have a bath, get dressed and make me a hot drink if I would like one. Although I have Alzheimers, I am still fully mobile and will speak my mind. I do sometimes need encouragement to help me understand what you are asking of me. I am looking for someone new to support my existing carer, so I have two people to work around each other, covering for the others’ holidays etc. Currently I am looking for support for up to 5 days, Monday to Friday, however if you can only help with 2 or 3 days, or if the time is not suitable, I am happy to discuss this with you.
