About
Hi, my name is Linda, I have always enjoyed supporting people in need and that was the chief reason I joined Like Family. I have been with them since March 2021 and have supported members with social anxiety and depression, Ataxia, Parkinson’s, PSP, as well as assisting older adults needing support. I have supported a member who was a stroke survivor for 9 months; helping her practice the exercises and activities that her physiotherapist, occupational therapist and speech therapist had taught me to do with her, doing various puzzles together, taking her for walks in her wheelchair which got her out into the community where that bit of social interaction really lifted her spirits and did her mental health and well being the world of good. I also fed her lunch. I am currently supporting a client with PSP (which sits under the Parkinson's Disease umbrella) and have done for the last 20 months. I am kind, have patience and am happy to give social support and care to help improve the quality of your life, providing companionship for you, supporting you with shopping, some light housework, taking you to appointments, listening and taking an interest in you, supporting you through social anxiety or depression, supporting you through any physical health issues you may have like MS, Parkinsons or stroke, and assisting with any exercises your physiotherapists, occupational or speech therapists need you to regularly practice, supporting you to live as independently as possible, preventing loneliness for you, and helping bring a smile to your day. I have now completed my Diploma in Nutrition. A University qualification from Torrens University in Sydney so if you require some guidance regarding food & nutrition I am able to support you with this also.
