Martha* is 85 years old, he has lived on his own since her husband Peter died 15 years ago and has always been independent. Last year, Martha had a fall whilst out shopping and it knocked her confidence somewhat. She stopped going out and even became scared of the stairs in her own home and would often sleep on the sofa rather than go to bed.

You would help her with daily routines that have become harder for her but also take her out and keep her independent and doing the things she has always done.
