It was become increasingly obvious to Reg that he could no
longer manage to live by himself. He was having difficulty moving about
unaided, becoming increasingly forgetful and easily confused. He often
forgot whether he had showered that day and had difficulty remembering
how to make his bed. Despite all this Reg was still in reasonable
health and with some assistance he would be able to live quite
comfortably in a hostel environment. The next obstacle to overcome was
how he would locate the type of hostel he would be happy with.
Placement by Family
Following a debilitating stroke three months prior resulting
in Gladys requiring hospitalisation and rehabilitation,
her family had reluctantly come to the realisation that she was
no longer capable of caring for herself in her own home. Moving
their mum to a nursing home was the only realistic option
available as none of the family had the room or the time to
adequately care for her. The problem that faced the family was
that they had no idea of how to go about finding somewhere
suitable for her needs.
In-house Assist
Greg and Heather were finding it less appealing to visit his parents.
Greg's mother had always been so house proud but now didn't seem to care
anymore. Clothes were left scattered around the house and the garden was
overgrown with weeds. It was becoming obvious to both Greg and Heather
that his parents no longer had the strength or the inclination to keep
their home neat and tidy anymore. It was becoming increasingly obvious
that they needed home help. With his busy work schedule and Heather's
full time job together with caring for their teenage boys they just
didn't have the time to find such a service
