CASE STUDY

Instructions to Assessor

This assessment supports the industry requirement of supporting and empowering older people in the aged care setting. In real life, individual support workers in both the residential care and home and community care settings will be required to meet personal needs of their clients, facilitate their empowerment, and provide support to people living with dementia, as well as encounter problems and issues along the way. This assessment will demonstrate the candidate’s problem-solving abilities in such situations.

Instructions to Candidate

These case studies are hypothetical situations which will not require you to have access to a workplace, although your past and present workplace experiences may help with the responses you provide. You will be expected to encounter similar situations to these in the future as you work in the residential care and home and community care settings.

In real life, individual support workers in both the residential care and home and community care settings will be required to meet personal needs of their clients, facilitate their empowerment, and provide support to people living with dementia, as well as encounter problems and issues along the way. This assessment will allow you to demonstrate your problem-solving skills in such situations.

Introduction to Case Study

For this part of the assessment, you will be taking the role of an individual support worker at the Residential Care of Lotus Compassionate Care.

Lotus Compassionate Care is an organisation that provides services in disability support, home and community support, and residential care.
As per your role as an individual support worker, you directly report to Rachel Allcot, the Manager at Residential Care.

This assessment contains a number of tasks that you need to complete based on the given scenarios. You are required to complete ALL tasks included in this case study.

To complete these tasks, you will need to access and review the following documents:

1. Mr White

Mr Thomas White is a 75-year-old resident at Lotus Compassionate Care, staying in Room 3-1C. He has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and has been having arthritis flares. He requires support from others in meeting his personal care needs.

When you arrived this morning, you introduced yourself and explained why you were there.

“Good morning, Mr White. How are you this morning?” you greeted Mr White.

“Look. I am so clumsy; I spilt water on my pants,” he said as he pointed to his trousers. As he was saying this, you just listened and reassured him.

While you were assisting him with his shower, he kept telling you in a loud voice, “Stop fussing over me!”

Then he threw the washer on the shower floor.
“Are you okay Mr White?” you asked him.
“My hip is sore. This arthritis!” he responded irritably. You reassured him.

Mr White had always been pleasant towards you. He always spoke in a calm manner and was always polite. However, he is not quite himself today, and he took longer than usual to finish his shower this morning.

Friday, 25th November 2016, 07:00 PM

1. You have finished assisting Mr White with his morning routine. As you got out of his room, Isabelle, a colleague of yours, greeted you and said:

What would be the appropriate response to Isabelle?

3. Ruth’s Kosher Diet

Ruth is a very religious woman of the Jewish faith and lives at home with her family. She was a keen cook and followed her faith’s rules on food preparation and presentation. She strictly followed the Kosher dietary rules and regulations. Ruth has been diagnosed with LBD and is not able to prepare her own food. She can feed herself if the larger items are cut into smaller bite-sized proportions. When applying for a bed in residential care, Ruth and her family were told that the facility had employed a Kosher trained chef who would be able to provide for all her requirements.

A few months after moving in, the chef left the facility and Ruth was advised that he had left all the documentation needed for the temporary chef to follow until a new Kosher trained chef was employed.

At first, Ruth did not notice any changes in her diet, but in the last couple of days, there have been instances of her receiving incorrect meals. The presentation of a meal had a milky sauce on her meat and a glass of milk placed on her table with her meal. One night, she was given a dish which contained prawns.

Ruth has overheard staff making remarks such as, “Here she goes again”, “Take the milk off my table” and “Boy! Talk about ungrateful; fresh prawns and she doesn’t want them.”You have often cared for Ruth and have shown an interest in her religion by listening to her explain the Kosher rules and regulations. You know that people of the Jewish faith may eat certain types of meat, such as cattle and lamb, but not pig and prawns. It is also strictly forbidden to have meat and milk combined in a dish and that the two must not be eaten at the same time.

Ruth has decided to lodge a complaint and asked you for advice. She feels the reason she and her family decided she stay at the facility was the promise of helping her cope with her condition while being able to enjoy her spirituality. To complete the succeeding tasks, read the Lotus Compassionate Care Handbook. Your trainer will provide you with this booklet.
