Femmie enjoys the little things, will you take her with you?

Who is Femmie?

Femmie is a 73-year-old woman with a severe intellectual disability. She lives in a residential group at the residential care park of 's Heeren Loo where she receives 24-hour care. She functions at an infant/toddler level and does not talk. You can hear through sounds whether she likes something or not. She often lives in her own world. If you call her or contact her, she can laugh at you and look at you. If she doesn't want something, she can make this clear by pushing you away or yelling. She enjoys taking a walk through our residential care park, having a cup of coffee in our Brasserie, going to the Intratuin or going to activities that 's Heeren Loo organizes such as the Christmas market or the arrival of Sinterklaas. Because of her intellectual disability, she needs closeness in this regard. Femmie has epilepsy. During the day she goes to a daytime activity center that focuses on atmosphere, experience and walking.

What does Femmie ask?

We are looking for a volunteer for Femmie who can be there for her. Someone who can take her for a walk, drink a cup of coffee with her in the Brasserie, go to the Intratuin or another fun activity. Her supervisors can give you more tips about this. You will also be made competent to deal with her epilepsy. During the week she is available after 3:00 PM or during the weekend. The day, time and frequency are in consultation. An hour once a month would be nice.
