#LetsGetPersonal

As part of our free personal care campaign, we spoke to Sue about the experience of her father-in-law Ted.

With free personal care Ted would have been given the support he needed with getting up, washing and preparing a meal, allowing his family to spend quality time with him when it mattered most.
