They both like to ensure that Robert remains stimulated and engaged; whilst he is quite a private person, Robert appreciates and enjoys his carers\u2019 companionship and support. He realises that he couldn\u2019t manage without them.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"js-modal-text col-span-7 pr-4 md:overflow-y-auto\">\n<p>Linda recognises that whilst Robert likes to take a daily walk, he prefers someone to walk with him. He will walk further if he has a purpose, so, because Robert is so fond of dogs, he and the carer have befriended the neighbour\u2019s dog Penny and offer to take her out for a walk most days. Since they have been doing this, Robert is walking much further and thoroughly enjoys his daily constitutional.<\/p>\n<p>Tracy is not a dog lover. Nevertheless, she encourages Robert to go out for his daily walk and likes to engage him in other activities, such as completing jigsaws together or making chocolate rice krispies or cornflake cakes. He loves to help, and enjoys licking the bowl afterwards!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"modal-footer p-0 border-0 justify-content-start\">\n                                                <a href=\"#\"\n           class=\"btn text-nowrap btn-secondary btn-sm text-medium\"\n           target=\"\"\n            data-bs-dismiss=\"modal\" style=\"pointer-events:auto;\" data-bs-name=\"Robert\" aria-label=\"Close modal Robert\">\n\n            \n                <span>\n        Close    <\/span>\n    \n            \n        <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    \n\n                    \n                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-0 m-0 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n    \n    <div class=\"d-flex flex-column align-items-start justify-content-start gap-s rounded-4 bg-grey-20 h-100\">\n\n        <!-- Image Card Image -->\n        <div class=\"w-100 rounded-top-4 overflow-hidden ratio ratio-1x1 ratio-lg-568x490 hh-defer-wrap\">\n            \t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.helpinghandshomecare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/customer-hannah-smiling-cerebral-palsy_16x9-1-300x169-1.webp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"A couple of women sitting outside.\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"w-100 h-100 object-fit-cover rounded-top-4\"\n\t\t\t\tloading=\"eager\"\n\t\t\t\tdecoding=\"async\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t            <div class=\"hh-skeleton rounded-top-4\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"d-flex flex-column justify-content-between flex-grow-1 gap-2xl py-l px-m w-100 rounded-bottom\">\n            <div class=\"d-flex flex-column align-items-start justify-content-start gap-xs\">\n                \n                    \n                    <h5 id=\"hannah\" class=\"d-flex flex-column align-items-start justify-content-start gap-xs m-0 fw-medium text-2xlarge text-purple-dark eq-card-image-height\">\n                                                    <span>Hannah<\/span>\n                                            <\/h5>\n                \n                                    <div class=\"acf-wysiwyg-reset-24 eq-card-text-height\">\n                        <p>Long-term care customer<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"d-flex flex-wrap flex-sm-row flex-column gap-s w-100\">\n\n                            <a href=\"#\"\n           class=\"btn text-nowrap btn-primary btn-sm text-medium\"\n           target=\"\"\n            style=\"flex: 1 1 calc(50% - 16px);\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#hhModal_6984a4ceec5eb\" data-bs-name=\"Hannah\" aria-labelledby=\"hannah\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Open modal Hannah\">\n\n            \n                <span>\n         Read Hannah&#039;s Story    <\/span>\n    \n            \n        <\/a>\n                                <div class=\"modal fade\" id=\"hhModal_6984a4ceec5eb\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                            <div class=\"modal-dialog modal-xl modal-dialog-centered\">\n                                <div class=\"modal-content border-0 rounded-0 pt-lg-3xl pt-4xl p-lg-m p-s gap-xl-m gap-m position-relative\">\n                                    <div class=\"position-absolute top-0 end-0 m-lg-xm m-xs\">\n                                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"border-0 bg-purple-dark rounded-circle d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center\" data-bs-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close\" style=\"opacity:1;width:40px;height:40px;\">\n                                            <svg class=\"hh-icon text-white text-2xlarge lh-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><use href=\"#xmark--solid\" xlink:href=\"#xmark--solid\"><\/use><\/svg>                                        <\/button>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"modal-header p-0 border-0\">\n                                        <h5 class=\"modal-title fw-medium text-2xlarge text-purple-dark\">Hannah<\/h5>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"row gap-xl-m gap-lg-m gap-m\">\n                                                                                <div class=\"col-xl-12 col-lg-12 col-12 eqmin-modal-height fixed-modal-height custom-scroll-bar overflow-y-auto border-0 acf-wysiwyg-reset-24\">\n                                            <p><span style=\"font-size: clamp(1rem, 0.954545rem + 0.227273vw, 1.125rem)\">Meet Hannah, a bright and bubbly 27-year-old with a great sense of humour and positive outlook on life. She loves music and was even lucky enough to watch the Rolling Stones live at the London Stadium in 2018! She also lives with cerebral palsy and has done since birth. Since starting care with Helping Hands in March, she describes her experience as \u201clife-changing\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"js-modal-text col-span-7 pr-4 md:overflow-y-auto\">\n<p>Hannah attended mainstream school and led an active life just like any other child. Yet in September 2018, Hannah\u2019s condition dramatically changed.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah had her nineteenth operation to remove metal work placed during a reconstruction which was threatening to break through the skin. Unfortunately, she was left with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) in her leg \u2013 a chronic pain condition that causes a significant amount of pain that is confined to a specific area.<\/p>\n<p>Dana, an hourly carer from our Tunbridge Wells branch, began visiting Hannah once a week in March 2019 and it has totally transformed Hannah\u2019s life. Instead of only having hospital appointments as a regular means of leaving her house, she now looks forward to Mondays, which is when Dana visits her.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that Hannah requested was for Dana not to wear her uniform when she accompanied her out in the community. She also doesn\u2019t refer to Dana as her carer, but as her personal assistant or PA. It was important to Hannah as a young person that she could feel comfortable with Dana and that she wasn\u2019t being judged.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah says: \u201cMonday is my one day of normality each week and I really look forward to it. Dana and I really like each other and there\u2019s always so much laughter between us!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n
