Description
Rosemary and Derek have shared their lovely home for many years, living in the lovely village of north curry in Somerset, which has a doctors surgery, church, shop, coffee shop and pub! Rosemary is a very active and spritely lady in her early 70s. She still works parttime at a school. Derek has recently been diagnosed with motor neurone disease having noticed a significant decline in his speech, swallowing and mobility over the last year. Whilst medical care is being arranged separately, rosemary and Derek would appreciate someone to help them out as an extra pair of hands around the house, and as company for them both: for rosemary, as Derek starts to be less engaged with their previously active life, and company for Derek if Rosemary may still want to leave the house for work or social visits etc and might feel better peace of mind knowing that Derek had someone keeping an eye out for him if she is out
