Jenny is a woman in her seventies living independently in her own home in the Bedford area. Several years ago, she was involved in a road traffic accident that resulted in a brain injury and epilepsy. She is now wheelchair-bound and unable to mobilise independently.

Jenny requires full support with all aspects of daily living, including personal care and medication administration. Due to the moving and handling requirements, she receives 2:1 care.
