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...!
