About the Client
I am a 28-year-old gentleman living in my own annex at the family home in the Walkeringham area of Doncaster with my mum, dad, and our two dogs. I have a cheeky sense of humour and love to laugh. I have Cerebral Palsy and am a full-time wheelchair user. I require a hoist for all transfers and have complex health needs, including severe seizures, learning disability, and I am non-verbal. I also have a baclofen pump, a Mic-Key button, and a suprapubic catheter. Although my needs may sound complex on paper, I am a very easy-going person to support and tend to draw people in with my warm and magnetic personality. I attend a day centre Monday to Friday and enjoy getting out and about, listening to birds, being around nature, music, and people singing. I am very tactile and enjoy interaction and attention from those around me.
