20 | Charles is an 80-year-old grandpa. He has mild dementia. He always forgets his medicine and sometimes forgets how to do very basic activities. He may also forget to eat or drink enough. He panics when there is too much unexpected in his life, and often has sundown syndrome. He feels alone and doesn't know what to do with his day. Every week, he waits for her daughter Vanessa to visit him, that is his weekly sunshine. He also goes to play cards with some friends of his every Wednesday afternoon. Another friend picks him up, then they go together, play cards with the group of friends, eat together in a restaurant, and then the friend brings Charles back home. | ||

However, he is very busy as he needs to work a lot: money is required to feed his family and pay for medical expenses linked with his wife's condition.

35 | Vanessa is the daughter of Charles. She comes once a week to see him, sometimes bringing her son Tom with her, so that Charles can see his family. She is also ready to come if her father has an urgent problem, or just to help him if it is needed. However, she does not live nearby, and it would be difficult for her to come much more often than once a week. |
