Home from Hospital
​A.V.  is  a 68 old woman. When she came out of hospital she was in a state of shock and physically and emotionally drained and unable to look after herself.  She had three operations on her left eye. She was told that she was going to have another operation to reconstruct her eye lid and in few weeks time  to undergo radiotherapy treatment.   A.V, received home from hospital service and she got back on her own feet and regained her confidence.

A.H. is a 60 year old woman.  When her mother was unable to live on her own due to her dementia A.H. decided to take her mother to live with her.  After a few months A.H. realised that she became house bound and she did not have any time for herself.   Before A.H. moved her mother to stay with her, she was attending our weekly drop in regularly.  We visited A.H. and offered her a weekly sitting session to enable her to go out and to attend our drop in.

C.L. is a terminally ill client however she is a very determined lady, and wishes to remain as independent as possible.  With some assistance she is able to undertake personal care tasks on her own and basically the personal care assistant is there to support her i.e. PCA holding the shower head while client washes her hair.  As regards to her dressing she requires some assistance from PCA like to pull up her tights and to fasten her bra.
In spite of her deterioration, she feels that by having the personal care assistant to support her and to offer her assistance only when she needs it she is still able to remain independent in her own home.

E.P is a 92 to yr old lady, suffering from some confusion and memory problems.  Client is able to get up on her own, waits for her personal care assistant to arrive.  Once the PCA arrives, E.P likes to take her medication as she feels safer to do so as PCA oversees the procedure.
As regards to personal care, the client is able to undress herself and, with some assistance from PCA, client is able perform most of her personal care. i.e. PCA washes client’s back and holds the shower head for client to wash the rest of her body.  
After breakfast client likes to prepare light lunch for herself while PCA is there to support her. i.e. to chop up some vegetables, to lift up hot saucepan from cooker.  PCA makes sure the cooker is switched off.
