Ruth's story

Ruth is 86 years old and is a very active Benetas community care client who enjoys swimming, French lessons, poetry writing and strength training. All this despite having severe rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.                     

“Having someone else organise these services is fantastic,” said Ruth. It alleviates so much stress and it’s wonderful that I can continue to live in my own home. It’s what keeps me alive and kicking.”
