Betty Wilcox

Betty Wilcox receives support from Turning Point’s Northumberland services.

I have been with Turning Point Northumberland Support for 20 years.

I lived in Hospital from the age of 17 and left to join the Northumberland project when I was 55 years old. I now have my own flat within a sheltered accommodation scheme. I live close to the local town and each morning I enjoy going down for a drink in my favourite coffee shop.

I look forward to my support staff coming to see me every day

I am looking forward to the future in my own home and living my own life.

I require support with my finances, to go shopping and maintaining my health. Health appointments and having to see medical professionals is a fear of mine. My staff team have helped reassure me and have put provisions in place to make these experiences easier to deal with, and for that I am very grateful.

I am able to do my own laundry with a little assistance from staff, I particularly look forward to wash day with my support worker Margaret we always have a good giggle.

One of the most important things for me coming into the project was maintaining my friendship with a lady I looked after during my time in hospital. Turning Point has enabled me to visit Karen at least once per year. I do look forward to my break and seeing Karen. I am looking forward to the future in my own home and living my own life.
