Case study 1 (questions 1–3)

Mavis has just begun receiving services from your organisation. She is a frail woman in her 90s, who lives alone in a small unit on the outskirts of town. Her grandson visits regularly but finds it difficult to visit often as he is completing university studies. Kelly’s organisation currently provides support with meals, home care and personal care tasks and community-based activities. After her grandson raises concerns, Mavis is assessed by her general practitioner who conducts an initial dementia screening test. This shows that Mavis has difficulties with orientation to time and place and decreased short-term memory capacity. She is also referred to a physiotherapist who assesses her mobility skills and strength, and writes a complex report that Kelly finds difficult to understand.

Ted is 15 and lives with his mother and younger brother. Ted has autism, an intellectual disability and epilepsy, which are mostly well controlled.

There is a community centre in the neighbourhood that runs many programs including art, dancing and model making.

Case study 3 (questions 10–12)

Jason is responsible for organising support workers to cover day and evening shifts in family homes. He has hired new support workers, but is unsure of the depth of their experience, so he is hesitant to roster the new workers on shifts. The support workers require monitoring and mentoring to ensure they are providing the appropriate care. Jason ensures that when the new workers are rostered on, they are working with a mentor or a health professional to develop their skills. He creates a training plan for the workers so their skills can be further developed and maintained, and reviews reports written by the mentors.

Jason notes that one of the support workers, Jenny, has failed to follow infection control and manual- handling procedures on a number of occasions. She also openly discusses confidential client information with the kitchen and cleaning staff. Jenny also avoids, ignores or simply refuses to assist people with their personal care needs such as dressing, bathing or eating.

Case study 4 (questions 13–16)

Sam is chairing a meeting about support services for Toula, a 50-year-old woman who has an acquired brain injury and physical disabilities following a car accident several years ago. Marty, a program manager who is a key stakeholder in providing Toula’s care, has told Sam that he does not have time to attend the meeting. He does not provide information to Sam about how Toula is progressing and whether there are any issues or concerns he would like discussed at the meeting.

The family have given Sam feedback that Toula’s physical support needs have increased – she has experienced several falls at home while workers have been present. Sam is worried that some workers are not taking enough time to perform personal care tasks with Toula and that she requires more highly skilled care from workers with excellent manual-handling and positioning skills.

How could Sam seek feedback from Marty when evaluating Toula’s individualised plan? Why is his feedback important?
