Alaina’s care

Alaina Banfield, who has cerebral palsy, has received complex and social care from Interserve Healthcare since 2014.

The 27–year-old from Cardiff is cared for a team of healthcare assistants who provide one-to-one care. Alaina requires support for 24-hours, seven days a week including sleeping care overnight.

Healthcare assistants, including Miriam who is pictured with Alaina, carry out regular duties including personal care, food preparation, shopping and medication. Alaina has an active lifestyle and her carers accompany her for weekly horse riding and trips to go clubbing. Interserve Healthcare has also supported Alaina with overseas holidays, including trips to Ibiza and Hungary.
