Support her on short walks when the weather is nice
Encourage light physical activities (guidance will be provided)
Suggest enjoyable activities and be proactive in planning her day
Engage with her in a patient, supportive, and understanding manner
Our family is happy to drive both of you to places for outings if needed. No personal care is required.
About You
