Theory of Change, Target Audience I came across this issue when I was in high school. As my grandparents aged they could no longer do the things that they wanted to. Their eyesight was going bad, normal every day movements were getting harder and this resulted in numerous falls.

To this day my grandparents are still living on their own and my family worries about them daily, their stubbornness will one day haunt them and I want through my business to offer a different option for personal elderly care.
