About me:

Suffered a burst Brain aneurysm 2014, age 46. Hurt like hell. Happened whilst I was walking, no history, just whack, a lightening bolt to the head. Hurt. Like. Hell.

Relearned to walk with numb limbs, relearned to talk with aphasia, relearned to get over myself and see the need for in home care. I want to live my life on my terms.

I want to enable others to do the same. It's hard living with a disability, I got very lucky. My odds of survival without an operation was 4.5%

After a week of intense pain and projectile vomiting, I was finally granted an operation in Auckland after a helicopter flight and a visit to two earlier hospitals.

The difference between rural hospitals and Auckland hospital was huge, one surgery and viola.

Now I give back. along with offering transport and home care, I also do my old work. Marketing.

I will often work through the night to assist you to deliver your goals. Tailored support. I've lived it, what do you need today?

Home Support Far North.

"You can nominate your care provider. You do not have to accept the norm, who will deliver minimal services".

Honorable assistance to the disabled is my privilege, I also advise the youth to buy into Income Protection Insurance, and Health Insurance: well bugger!

If you get publicly funded home support services, it is important that you understand who supplies your services, what your rights are, and how the support you need will be planned and delivered.

You can nominate your care provider. You do not have to accept the norm, who will deliver minimal services.

Support services can help you to:

• maintain your independence and quality of life
• stay in your own home for as long as you can
• participate in your community.

I offer you and your carer:

• household support, cleaning
• personal support, mental & emotional
• appointment support
• travel
• respite support
• food prep

I've lived through a lot of stressful situations, and can help with a bunch, with experience and kindness.

Personal care is more than showering, it's creating a trusted relationship, it's cutting flowers for the bathroom, checking the medicines are taken with food, arranging grocery lists, taking out the trash, getting in the mail, writing to creditors to organise payment plans; after the unimaginable has happened. Taking photos for Trademe.co.nz adverts. What ever you need organised, I can help, advise or find someone with more experience who can.

You do not need a doctors appointment to see if you are eligible for government funded home help. You can book an assessment here for Govt. funding, and then you can nominate your provider (Needs Assessment and Service Co-ordination Association - these links are for Northland NZ) Free phone 0800 88 88 90
