Buddy for gentleman with NAH

Interest, listening, fun and conviviality.

For a gentleman of 57 years with NAH (Non Congenital Brain Injury), bound to a wheelchair and care, we are looking for someone who can visit him once a week. Even if it is not possible every week, we would like to get in touch with you. Mister has no network, but he does need contact and it would be so nice if there was someone who came especially for him and with whom he could build a bond. Have a cup of coffee together, smoke a cigar on the balcony or go for a walk.

This is us:

Mr. lives in a studio at Verlengde Houtrakgracht 331 in Utrecht. He lives there with several residents with NAH. The home and care is part of 's Heeren Loo, an organization that offers care and support to children and adults with disabilities. For a number of days during the week, Mr. goes to a day care location that is specially focused on his capabilities.

This is you:

You think it is important that every person has an involved social network, regardless of possibilities or way of experiencing it. You come to visit and are completely focused on the other, have a cup of coffee together and discuss what the other feels like; a game, a walk or…..

Furthermore you are:

• Patient and takes time to understand and understand someone.
• Empathizes with situation and circumstances and you want to put energy into building a relationship of trust.
• Clear and predictable, making you reliable but also firm.
• Respectful and you can handle (confidential) information discreetly
• Available for a longer period.
