Description
I am Gradwell, a male home carer with a passion for providing exceptional care to those in need. With experience in supporting individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, Depression, and those who are bedbound, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on their lives. My care types include hourly and overnight care, offering comprehensive assistance and companionship to those who require it.
I possess a range of essential skills such as bathing, toileting, assisting with dressing, catheter care, and providing invaluable companionship. With the ability to drive and access to my own car, I am equipped to cater to the needs of individuals in various locations. My caring and friendly nature, coupled with a helpful attitude, allows me to connect with my clients on a personal level and offer tailored support that meets their unique requirements.
Outside of caregiving, I enjoy engaging in hobbies such as walking, photography, watching TV, participating in sports, and writing. These activities enrich my life and provide a well-rounded perspective that I bring to my caregiving role. Additionally, I am fond of pets, including cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds, embracing the joy and companionship they bring. My motivation for caring stems from a deep desire to help people lead independent lives and ensure they receive the support and assistance they deserve.

Gradwell has a gentle and kind presence. He showed reliability, adaptability and flexibility during his time caring for my Dad. He built a very good relationship with Dad over the time he spent caring for him and as a family, we greatly valued the care, attention and respect he showed Dad. As a family, we thought highly of Gradwell and the support he offered to Dad and to us, during a challenging time as Dad's dementia worsened. I recommend him highly.
