Before his brain injury, John was a mechanical engineer who was a left-hand user. He continues to live in his home with his wife and dog. His house is a single level home but does not have shower handrails or non-slip floors. His house is a bit cluttered and there are missing light bulbs in some rooms. In their kitchen some equipment, such as the kettle and toaster, is very old and a bit damaged. He has difficulty with expressive language and needs support with many daily tasks that require the use of his left upper limb. John understands spoken language and has some ability to read. John also has left quadrant vision loss due to the brain injury. John enjoys going for walks, listening to music, and watching movies. John cannot drive and is not a confident user of public transport.
