Jeremy is 32. For the last six (6) months he has been living in supported accommodation around the corner from his mother's house, where he had lived with her until entering supported accommodation. Jeremy is tall, well-built, and has a moderate intellectual disability. His mother, Ruby, is still his guardian and loves him tremendously. She did a lot of everyday tasks for him until her age and health conditions meant that she could no longer adequately support him. Jeremy is not very 'streetwise', although he has thrived in his new living situation. He loves having the freedom to choose when he gets up and goes to bed, and what he eats. He shares the chores and facilities with five (5) housemates, and there is always a staff member. His housemates are a diverse group and they generally get along quite well. Dennis is the oldest of the housemates. He is a cranky 63-year-old with a serious gambling habit and he has adopted a fatherly attitude towards Jeremy. Dennis keeps telling Jeremy to take heed of what he says, saying, "I'm an old coot and I been around the traps." (He means that he has seen and experienced a lot in his life and knows how things work.) Dennis is vision impaired, with only about 50% sight in one (1) eye. He also has "bad hips" and so is unable to walk far without pain. Dennis often gets Jeremy to do errands on his behalf. Jeremy is always happy to walk to the shops or up to the pub to put on a bet for Dennis. Once, on the way to collect Dennis's winnings, two (2) schoolkids asked Jeremy to see the betting ticket and, when Jeremy handed it over, they ran off with it. Despite this, Dennis is always encouraging Jeremy to "spread his wings" and "get out on his own". He says that Jeremy should set himself up in a flat and find himself a girlfriend. Jeremy talks to Dennis a lot, often about how he would like a girlfriend. UN PE The next time Jeremy visits Ruby, he asks if she can organise the money for him to rent his own flat. Ruby tells Jeremy that she thinks he isn't ready to make such a big move on his own. Jeremy tells her that Dennis has offered to share the place with him, at least until he "finds his feet" (i.e., is able to handle things on his own). Do you think that Jeremy is ready for the independence he seeks? Explain your answer. In this situation, explain who has the power to influence Jeremy and why? In what ways does Jeremy have independence in his life and what further independence does he want? Jeremy is 32.
