**Could you care?**:

- Mavis* sadly lost her husband a few years ago, she has managed at home with the help from her close relatives and family friends. She now needs some extra support and assistance to be able to stay at home in the place she loves. You could help her get out of bed, making sure she does not trip or fall, assist her to the bathroom prompting her with her morning wash and brushing her teeth. Once safely downstairs you will ensure Mavis has her breakfast, usually porridge and apple juice. Mavis is great with taking her medication but just needs little reminders of the day and time. Mavis loves knowing someone is coming throughout the day to support her._
