Care at Home for Henry
“Henry”, is a 78-year-old gentleman who was diagnosed with a progressive neurological disorder (similar to Parkinson’s) following a series of falls.
Due to his declining health, it was suggested to Henry that he may want to move into a full-time care setting, as he had no family to help with his care. Henry was distressed at this idea, as he did not want to leave his home.
We called a meeting on behalf of Henry with his allocated Social Worker and Neurological Specialist to assess his future care needs, and whether these could be met at home. In line with Henry’s wishes, this was agreed.
Henry now accesses the local community weekly, through an arrangement with the local taxi firm. Assisted by the same driver each week Henry is able to maintain his independence, while staying safe.
With our care, and help establishing community links, Henry has been able to continue living at home, retain his independence, and live well.
