Our Client Just Turned 100 Years Old!

Our client has just celebrated an exciting milestone recently when she turned 100 years old.

Helen, who lives in her home with the support of Eximius Support, celebrated her 100th birthday with a luxury afternoon tea.

She was treated to afternoon tea at the Rhinefield House Hotel by Eximius, enjoying the outing with her complex care supervisor, Dawn Dowdican, her clinical lead, Dawn Sears and her main companion carer, Shona.

Helen has enjoyed an incredible life full of adventure and has no plans of stopping just yet, enjoying daily outings including outings to the New Forest in her electric wheelchair. She was also a highly accomplished equestrian and tennis player.

A World War II veteran, Helen joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service at the age of 18, after dropping out of the Domestic Science College to serve as an army driver. After the war, she returned to the college, proudly passing the course as the first person to ever graduate with First Class Honours.

When asked what the secret to a long and healthy life was, Helen responded:

“Staying fit and active, eat and do whatever you like in moderation and enjoy a little tipple!” She continued, “I’m so grateful for Exmius and I’m so lucky to have Shona, she is the best! I couldn’t ask for better care.”

Helen started receiving live-in care from Eximius during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was unable to get out and go to her fitness classes and as such her mobility and strength sadly started to decline. That was the point when she started receiving live-in care from Eximius.
