In 2012 she became immobile and it then required that I wash and dress her with use of a hoist and hospital bed. I prepared home cooked meals and kept the house immaculately clean. I liaised with her daughter on a regular basis. I worked well with other carers when required (two people are required to operate a hoist).In January 2013, sadly Mrs Francu died in hospital at the age of 92.
