Anne and I were met by Ms R's helpful cousin at the property where he and his wife had already started to clear space in the living room for a hospital bed so that Ms R can return home. We quickly moved a large armchair and foot rest into the next door bedroom, and relocated the sofa against one wall to then leave sufficient space for the bed.

As requested by the occupational therapist we also took some measurements of the space and noted these down along with where the electrical sockets were positioned - we then discovered that Mr H (Ms R's cousin) had also prepared a very detailed drawing showing the dimensions of the rooms, so rather than recreate the wheel, we took a picture of that too! Measure twice, cut once as the wise old saying goes...
