PA support required for couple in Freshwater 28 hours a week (206771, 342214)
The gentleman requires daily support from a Personal Assistant to assist with getting up, dressing, and settling into bed. A total of 2 hours of support is needed each day: 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening. The hourly rate is £14.14.
The lady requires Personal Assistant support to manage day‑to‑day personal care, as well as assistance in maintaining her home environment when she is unable to do so herself. She has a terminal brain tumour and has undergone surgery, with radiotherapy due to begin shortly. Since her operation, she has become increasingly frail and has experienced a loss of function on her right-hand side. This impacts her ability to complete fine motor tasks, and she experiences tremors and shakes which make it difficult to maintain grip on objects. Due to the progression of her illness, she anticipates that her needs will continue to increase over time.

Safe Use of the Home Environment:
While she is able to stand from a seated position, her mobility is declining, making this increasingly difficult. Her altered perception also places her at heightened risk of falls.
