Meet Our Client
The client requires support with personal care, mobility, daily living activities, and maintaining safety within the home. He has Down syndrome, high-functioning autism, a learning disability, and several complex health conditions that impact his day-to-day life, including mobility difficulties and an increased risk of falls.
He benefits from consistent support, reassurance, and routine, as changes can increase anxiety and affect his wellbeing. Building trust is important, as he may initially find it difficult to accept support from unfamiliar carers.
