CASE

Isabelle is 73 years old and recently fell and broke her arm. She lives alone with relatively little to no family or friends nearby. She was able to get care for her broken arm but has been extremely fearful since her fall. She is afraid to leave her house because she fears that if she gets hurt again her family will just lock her up in a facility and forget about her. No one has said anything to her about going to a nursing facility to live, but she "feels" like that is what they are thinking and finds herself avoiding contact with them. She has trouble using the phone, so she has had minimal contact with anyone for the past week. She recognizes that she is lonely, and she has noticed a decline in her mood and overall energy.
