Sarah needs assistance with feeding and her personal care.  She understands basic conversation and can respond to questions.  She loves being with people and is very sociable, although can become anxious in unfamiliar situations. Sarah can do assisted stepping between chairs or the floor and can sit on her own.
The house has been fitted with a lift and adapted bath to make moving around and personal care easier.
