About the Client:
Our client is a lovely lady in her 50s living with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis alongside Type 2 Diabetes. She is warm and easy to get along with when supported by calm, familiar staff who take the time to understand her routine. She is physically mobile with a 4-wheeled frame and independent with most transfers, but she needs cognitive support, prompting and reorientation across her day, along with hands-on assistance with medication, insulin and continence care.
She does best with consistent, patient support workers who communicate calmly, redirect gently, and understand that her behaviours are a direct expression of her condition rather than a reflection of who she is. When approached the right way, she is easily redirected and settles quickly.

- Prompting and cognitive support across daily routines to help her stay engaged and oriented.
