Mabel lives at home alone. She is a very independent woman and enjoys working as a volunteer in the community and also runs an art class. Mabel fell and broke her shoulder. She needed surgery and spent ten days in hospital. Once she was clinically stable, she was worried about how she would manage at home as she had no family close by. She was told that she would be dependent on support for activities of daily living for up to two months while her shoulder repaired itself. Mabel was very worried that she would have to remain in hospital for that time, however arrangements were made for her to be discharged from hospital and receive assistance at home until she was able to be independent once more. A care plan was set up and was planned to go for six weeks at which time it would be re-evaluated. Care included showering, dressing, cleaning, transport to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and meals on wheels. At her review after six weeks Mabel has very happy with her progress. She was going back to volunteer work one day a week and planning to restart her art classes next week. She had cancelled the meals on wheels the previous week as she found she was able to cook for herself now. It was agreed that she no longer needed home support. |
Discuss the advantages that a reablement approach had for Mabel compared with more traditional models of care.

Case Study 1: Marta |
|
Marta is suffering from dementia that is caused by a lifetime of alcoholism. She lives at home with her husband Bill, who also drinks a lot of alcohol. A HACC worker visits three times a week. Today her HACC worker notices bruises on Marta’s arms. This is the third time this month that she has had bruises. When she asks Marta about them she just looks ahead and says nothing, humming in her normal way. When she asks Bill what happened he says, ‘I dunno – silly old cow keeps falling over. She was probably drunk again and fell out of bed.’ The worker looks at the bruising pattern. She thinks that it looks more like someone has grabbed Marta very hard. |
How can the worker tell from the bruising pattern how the injury is likely to have occurred? How would this be different from bruising that occurred due to falling out of bed?
What actions must the worker take to report the suspected abuse?
What professional support service could Marta be referred to for assistance?
The worker no longer feels safe going to Marta’s house. This is very stressful for her as she doesn’t want to admit that she feels unsafe and insecure. She is so worried about it that she can’t sleep at night. What could she do?
You find out that your work colleague has been discussing Marta’s circumstances and your stress reaction in the lunch room. What legislation and ethical requirements is your colleague breaching?

Case Study 2: Catholic service |
|
The Catholic service in your aged care facility has been changed from Tuesdays to Thursdays – the priest is not able to attend on Tuesdays anymore. Unfortunately the service now clashes with the time that clients are able to go out for coffee in the local town. The clients are taken to the coffee shop nearby and are also able to walk around the town and do a little shopping if they wish. The Catholic clients are very annoyed that they can no longer go on their coffee excursion. It’s not their fault that the priest has needed to change arrangements! When something is said to a staff member, the person says, ‘Well, you don’t have to go to church! I’m sure God will agree that drinking a delicious cup of coffee is much more important than listening to the priest.’ |
Do you think the Catholic clients are being discriminated against? Explain your answer.
What would be a better way of dealing with the concerns of the Catholic clients?
What action would you take if someone in the client group wanted to put in a formal complaint?

Instructions to the Supervisor |
As part of the evidence of competency for this student, we are seeking reports from the student’s work placement supervisor. This forms part of the evidence for the unit CHCAGE001 Facilitate the empowerment of older people.
What is the purpose of this?
The purpose of this process is to gain confirmation from someone who has worked regularly with the student who can verify that the student performs their skills satisfactorily to workplace requirements on a regular basis.
How will the information I provide be used?
The assessor will use the information you provide in this report, combined with other assessment evidence provided by the student to make a final decision about competency.
How and when do I fill in the report?
You do not need to observe the student over a particular period of time or completing certain tasks. If you place a tick in the ‘Yes’ column in the report, you are confirming that you are comfortable with the student’s skills in the relevant area and that you have seen them work satisfactorily to workplace expectations.
Please also include comments and examples in the space provided wherever possible.
If you do not believe that the student demonstrates appropriate skills in the area listed, please place a tick in the ‘No’ column and provide reasons and comments about why you have said ‘No’.
If you are unsure or not able to comment on the student’s skills in a particular area, please place a tick in the ‘Not able to confirm’ column; or if the student is still undertaking placement, then you may still be able to watch their work in these areas so you are then able to comment on the suitability of their skills.
What should I do if I am unsure of the expectations?
Please contact the student’s assessor if you are unsure of any of the requirements of filling in this Supervisor Report. The student will have their direct contact details.
Who should fill in this report if I am unable to do so?
If you are not able to confirm the student’s skills in all of the following areas, please confirm the areas you can and ask another qualified person from the workplace to confirm skills in the other areas. They will also need to sign the report.
