Mary and Derek
Mary cares for her husband Derek who has vascular dementia. Mary’s caring role is intense, she rarely has a break and cares both day and night. Mary says she is managing but that she can’t maintain the garden and it’s become an intense form of worry for her. Mary is provided with a direct payment to buy in the services of a gardener once a month.
