About Our Client :

I am a 26-year-old male with complex care needs and a smile to melt your heart. No two days are the same as my day changes pace to suit my requirements.

On my better days I likes to spend time in my beautiful, adapted garden. Help me to make my sensory garden bloom; potting bulbs and flowers or enable me to take time out to relax on my trampoline or lounge in my hammock or spend time listening to my water fountain in my pond, or my newly built summer house.

I love the great outdoors; whether that be local walk or a trip to the park. I especially enjoy listening to the sounds of the tree’s and have a love of birds and ducks. I enjoy a visit to the local ponds to feed them.

Hydrotherapy sessions are a great chance for you to support me with my physiotherapy, be prepared for a soaking as I love to create a splash!

Quite moments of relaxation and calm are also important, I enjoy listening to stories, some TV time and sharing cuddles in my den.

I enjoy spending weekends with my support team at my lodge in Bridlington where I enjoy days on the beach, cliff top walks, exploring the town centre and fun fair.

If you are an enthusiastic, caring individual who can work flexibly to meet my needs and would like to join my team, we would love to welcome you into my family home in LS16.
