Today was a GG first for me - a successful joint visit with a Social Worker, to the lovely Ms S. Her ability to cope without support due to her MS has been diminishing rapidly. I’ve been using GG’s safeguarding processes to feedback my concerns.

(Subject to her manager’s approval) the Social Worker agreed a care package and a referral for sheltered accommodation. Ms S was so happy with the outcome.

I stayed on for a bit afterwards to bin some black bags and clear the fridge and surfaces of out of date food. For the first time in 2026, I left Ms S’s home full of hope.
