About the Client & Your Responsibilities
Our lovely client lives with her husband, assistance dog and a few other pets.

A mobility vehicle is available to ensure she can continue to enjoy outings and stay connected with her community.
She remains active and mobile with the use of crutches and a scooter when out and about. With a warm and creative personality, she has a passion for horses, arts and crafts, crocheting, and photography. She loves spending time in the countryside and relaxing with a good film.
