Due to memory difficulties, grandmother is afraid to go out alone. With hubby, she can go for walks!

During a two-hour visit, I can help the client with many things, e.g., watering flowers, washing dishes, folding laundry, brushing teeth, cutting nails, and taking out the trash.

One of the most memorable moments of the visits have been a visible change in the elderly person's mood. She never used to smiled during the first visits, so it has been wonderful to notice her increased smiling!
