Question:
Helen broke her arm on November 9. What are your target dates for your goals?
Use the above vignette to develop a detailed treatment plan for the client. Helen is 89 years old. She has lived independently in her own home until now. Last week she fell off a chair in her home while reaching up to clean out the top shelves in one of her closets. She sat with her arm aching all night until morning when she called her daughter to take her to the hospital. There an X-ray was done, and the arm was set. The hospital staff sent her home, and her daughter, who works, called the Office of Aging to help her plan so that her mother could remain at home. The Office of Aging set the main goal, “Helen will continue living in her own home with assistance” and referred the case to your agency to provide the service. Helen is unable to make meals or bathe herself, and the pain medication is making her dizzy. The Office of Aging has called your agency, which provides homemaker and in-home care, to provide the actual service to Helen. As the case manager for the agency, you go out and evaluate Helen’s situation.
