Lives alone in large very accessible apartment. Has a home health aide all day during the week who prepare meals plus meals on wheels. She is Ind with devices for dressing and requires supervision for bathing. Has significant arthritis, so we are working on some jt protection techniques as well. She was swimming but has decided to give that up with the cold weather and increasing difficulty getting around outdoors.
