“I love going to get my hair and nail done as it also helps me socialise which is so important for my mental health!”
Meet Janet, who is 56 years young. In her earlier years, she worked as a secretary and used to love ballroom dancing and embraced a social lifestyle. Janet had a brain tumour removed approximately 30 years ago, resulting in short term deficiencies. Regrettably, the tumour resurfaced, prompting another operation for its removal.
Following her brain tumour, Janet started noticing she needed extra support at home as her short term memory got steadily worse and she required support to maintain her safety. She was also forgetting things such as turning the oven off, taking her medications at the correct time and was now at risk of falls due to her mobility getting worse.
Janet wanted to live as independently as possible at home, and so she contacted Novus Care to provide brain injury care within her own home.
After meeting Janet and talking through all the options, we matched Janet with Tolulope one of our live-in support workers. Her live in carer supports her to live independently and maintain a good routine and supports Janet with meal preparation, medication and companionship. Tolulope also ensures she has regular hairdresser and manicure appointments as Tolulope understands how Janet enjoys going to these appointments as she loves to maintain her appearance plus its also a chance for Janet to socialise which is so important for her mental wellbeing.
