Document Content and Description Below

Case Study 1 – Georgette McCartney SCENARIO Georgette is sixty-five years old and living with dementia. She has been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), causing a slight but noticea... ble decline in her cognitive abilities, including her memory and thinking skills. Georgette is a widow and living alone. Her son, Felix, visits her on weekends and holidays to help with the household chores. Having been diagnosed with MCI, it has become difficult for her to accomplish her activities of daily living (ADLs). There was one instance when she forgot that she had turned the stove on. Luckily, Felix, who was at home at that time, noticed the stove was still on and turned it off. Georgette and Felix have decided to seek home care and support services from Lotus Compassionate Care. They believe that, with the help of these services, Georgette can be fully supported in her activities of daily living (ADLs) while maintaining a level of independence and autonomy. She also needs mild to moderate assistance in her mobility as she is at risk of falls. She uses a walking stick to aid her in walking around, although she sometimes misplaces it. As one of its newest Home and Community Care clients, Georgette will be on-boarded into Lotus Compassionate Care’s services and informed of its policies and procedures, and her rights and responsibilities as a client. You have been assigned as Georgette’s support worker who is to conduct her onboarding. As part of this process, you will also facilitate her interests and rights as a client in the home and community care services.
