Case Study: Mary’s Journey

At 78, Mary had begun refusing meals, forgetting appointments, and rarely left her armchair. We introduced:

1. A small, consistent caregiver team, so Mary saw familiar faces.
2. Daily reminiscence sessions with her wedding album.
3. Gentle garden walks for fresh air and light exercise.
4. Hydration and snack prompts, with favourite treats placed within reach.

Within six weeks, Mary’s anxiety lessened, she started greeting neighbours again, and looked forward to our visits. Her daughter says, “Mum’s laughter is back—she’s more engaged and so much calmer at home.”
