Another lady has had a stroke, she has carers 4 times a day I go to encourage speech, we sing, she reads to me. It has helped immensely with her speech. Her husband has dementia whilst carers are with his wife I distract him with card games. On occasion we have gone for a drive and coffee. I have a lovely lady with dementia who I visit weekly. She lives with her daughter, I know from my own experiences what having a few hours break means. I have done some overnight visits, we do a bit of knitting listen to old songs and a bit of cooking. I collect her from her day centre on a weekly basis and take her for appointments. I have a gentleman who after several infections has come rely on me, I make sure he has food in and do a bit of cooking and cleaning when he is not well.
