Carer Friend required

I am 66 years old and my wife is a similar age. She has been diagnosed with Parkinsons Desease for more than 25 years and is doing rather well. However I am at a stage where I am reluctant to leave her on her own for any length of time and would appreciate help from anyone of a similar age to be with her on a regular or adhoc basis whenever I am not around. Activities she would enjoy is going out for coffee or shopping trips or staying in playing scrabble etc. If there is a retired or part time nurse available for a Saturday morning or perhaps days during the week I would love to hear from you. We are located in Hatch End, Pinner by the way

You both sound like amazing people, if your wife has a specialist nurse or attends a support group they may know of where you can find someone, good luck x
