Personal Assistant

“Please note Capability Scotland isn’t the employer we are only acting on behalf of our client. The client will be the employer.”

Evelyn is a 67-year-old woman who lives in Dumfries and has a diagnosis of Parkinson’s, Multiple System Atrophy, Arthritis and EUPD. Due to those serious and debilitating conditions, Evelyn is increasingly struggling to manage personal care tasks. With the progressive nature of Parkinson’s and MSA, it is vital to get some PC support before things decline further. Evelyn enjoys being at home with her pets (5 cats and 1 dog) and doesn’t often leave the house unless necessary or to see family.
