Assistance at this time and loan of equipment can see them through this period. A fall that has resulted in broken bones or damage to parts of their body, may affect someone’s confidence and they need help to rebuild this.

Andrea medications alone may also be an issue. Andrea should have therapy along with the medications, not just the medications alone is enough for her mental health issues.
