Elizabeth near Wadebridge had been told her life expectancy would likely be a year and was desperate to stay at home in her beautiful house with horses in the fields next door. We were able to help her with daily living tasks and managing the increasing medications she had, and to get out to see her friends. In her last two weeks we helped her with overnight care as well.
