About the Client:
Our client is a gentleman in his late 50s living with early onset Alzheimer's disease and coeliac disease. Before his diagnosis, he was an active man who enjoyed the gym, church and the company of family. When supported by calm, familiar staff and a predictable routine, he can still be sociable and easy-going, enjoying simple conversation and time outdoors.
