Done in a Flash...
3 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.
- Friday, 27th of January 2023
We arrived at the entrance lobby to Ms G's flat to be greeted by an overpowering chemical cleaner scent, which did make us curious as to whether there was a hidden swimming pool somewhere in the building.
As to the task itself, we quickly appointed Latoya as project manager and she took control of guiding Ms G from her bed into her walker/chair, whilst Ramon and I turned the bed through 90 degrees and moved her armchair, such that she could sit in bed or on the chair to watch her TV in a bit more comfort. Faster than you could say Jumpin' Jack Flash, we were all done and waved Ms G farewell.
On the way out we did check with another resident if there was in fact a pool...but no, turned out it was just an overzealous cleaner who had clearly gone slightly overboard with today's choice of heavy duty cleaning product...!
