However, Mavis has had wonderful companionship, care and support from people she has grown so fond of, her Companion helps her with her daily routine, assists with showering/bathing, helping her to get dressed, and prompting her to take her medication, her family have more peace of mind as they know she’s not alone. She has been able to keep getting out and about doing the things she loves, including visiting the Winkworth Arboretum where she can wonder through the beautiful trees, and most importantly the supports she receives have allowed her to keep being herself in the home that she loves.
