Elsie is 86 years old, she has lived in on her own since her husband died 7 years ago and has always been independent. Last year, Elsie 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 house and would often sleep on the sofa rather than go to bed. She also wouldn’t leave her house, not even into the garden in case she had another fall. Elsie is typical of someone you would become a Care Assistant & Companion for.
