A bit about me:
I am an 85-year-old lady living with dementia. I enjoy watching sports and documentaries. I like staying in touch with my family and hearing about my grandchildren’s adventures. Being able to live in my home is very important to me, but I acknowledge that I need support to promote my independence.
