Improving their ability to self-care and to perform everyday activities of daily living
· Reducing the need for ongoing home care services
· Reducing the risk of falls and falls related injuries
· Avoiding hospital admission for reasons directly addressed by this program, for example, falls, medication or chronic
disease mismanagement
Mabel lives at home alone. She is a very independent woman and enjoys working as a volunteer in the
community and also runs an art class. Mabel fell and broke her shoulder. She needed surgery and
spent ten days in hospital. Once she was clinically stable, she was worried about how she would
manage at home as she had no family close by. She was told that she would be dependent on support
for activities of daily living for up to two months while her shoulder repaired itself.
Mabel was very worried that she would have to remain in hospital for that time, however arrangements
were made for her to be discharged from hospital and receive assistance at home until she was able to
be independent once more.
A care plan was set up and was planned to go for six weeks at which time it would be re-evaluated. Care
included showering, dressing, cleaning, transport to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and meals on
wheels.
At her review after six weeks Mabel has very happy with her progress. She was going back to volunteer
work one day a week and planning to restart her art classes next week. She had cancelled the meals on
wheels the previous week as she found she was able to cook for herself now. It was agreed that she no
longer needed home support.
