Meryem is 75 years old and originally from Turkey. She has always been independent, but as Alzheimer’s Dementia gradually made everyday tasks more difficult, she found herself relying more on her daughter-in-law, Hediye and her support worker Songul. Meryem and Songul developed a bond that extended far beyond care. Having a support worker who shares her cultural background has been a source of comfort for Meryem.
