Leila  is  an  86-year-old  woman  with  type  2  diabetes  and  high  blood  pressure.  She  lives  alone,  and,  as  a  result  of  a  recent  heart  attack,  her  family  doctor  and  cardiologist  want  to  see  her  more  frequently.  She  has  some  moderate  arthritis  involving  her  knees  and  hips  and  poor  vision,  but  she is committed to maintaining her independence.
