My Gran is not a very receptive person, she never was but I respect that and understand why. At this time we are not set up as maybe you may be and I wish not to leave her alone without some form of assistance should she need help when I am not home. I pay for help at the moment but that will only be for a short time. All things are not in place at this time and I feel more secure knowing she can reach me. Please understand, I am pressured to have some form of continuity and safety and having a phone would be number one priority. I am reaching out to this community for any form of help it may offer. I hope this explanation will help? thank you , kait
