For the past five years I have worked with adults with learning disability supporting them to leave independently in their homes and to access their local communities in some cases using my car to do so. For example I work with this elderly gentleman who leaves on his own but needs support with personal care and general house chores. As part of a team, I have supported this gentleman to shower and dress in the morning and evenings making sure that he takes his medication. Also I support him at teatime to prepare meals, with much emphasis on a healthy diet, which helps his health conditions. Moreover, I work closely with the dietician and the learning disability nurse; this enables me to give a coordinated support which is guided by his care
