Walking buddy wanted for a 98-year-old woman

The lady is a likeable and sociable woman who enjoys talking and sharing beautiful memories. For example, she likes to talk about her dogs and her time in a sewing workshop. Because she has poor eyesight and hearing, she rarely goes outside and notices that her physical condition is deteriorating as a result. A walking companion could help her get out more often again and maintain her fitness.

The lady uses a rollator and requires some extra attention while walking, especially on poor or uneven pavement. A calm and reliable walking companion who is patient and can put her at ease would suit her well. Due to her limited vision, she can sometimes be somewhat wary during interactions. Her fitness is important to the lady, as this partly determines how long she can continue living independently.
