Meet Marvel:
Marvel is a 90 year old woman who is living alone since the death of her husband Bill, approximately one month ago. Bill had managed the finances, done the grocery shopping and maintained the yard. As her neighbor, you have noticed there has been no activity at the home in the past week. You have not seen Marvel in over a week and you are concerned that she may not have the ability to get to the grocery store. Marvel does not have a driver’s license and her children live in other states. No one has picked up her mail and it is starting to pile up on her front step. Her yard has become overgrown and her plants have died.
