I have three helpers, all excellent. They couldn’t be kinder, more interested, more helpful. There’s nothing they could do any better than they’re already doing for me. One does the washing and that sort of thing and then there’s one who takes me out for drives and when I go to medicals, when I go to see the optometrist or the dentist. They take me along and it’s comforting and it’s calming to have someone like that by your side to hold your hand if necessary. Especially when you’re not used to these things. And they’ve all helped me such a lot.
A lot of the carers say they would do the job for nothing if they could manage it because they love it so much. They come here and they really do their very best and they have such a varied choice of jobs to do during the day. Not their choice. Our choice. And it’s everything from indoor things like libraries and things like iPads and Google you can get on with and there’s gardening to outside and all the sports in the fields and… there’s wonderful choice of things to do, isn’t there?
