  • Is frail
  • Requires support for grooming (bathing, dressing) and/or toileting

Thankam's health deteriorated with age, and soon, she was on constant bed rest. She was very frail, and prone to falls

Despite living near family, she needed a higher degree of help and assistance that her circle of support could not provide. Her worsening health was the biggest cause for concern, and we focused our caregiving efforts there.

Vimala was still sharp as ever. Parkinson's prevented her from leaving the house, but with staff at home, Vimala got by comfortably. She only saw a need for logistical support, such as bank work or doctor visits, which her household staff was unable to do. She required someone to check-in on her occasionally to help her with these things and be able to provide support in an emergency.

Minny's biggest source of pride was that she could still drive herself around. She really only needed help with things like renewing her passport or sorting through bank work. More than anything, Minny was bored. She desired a social life, and someone to engage with. All her other needs were being take care of.
