Q1: I would choose option 1 Eve to remain at home, considering referrals for the Dementia Nursing Team, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist and carers. Eve to receive care at home would need dementia nursing care since her formal diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and would benefit from different professionals in regard to her complex needs.
Q2: I would choose option 1 because Eve has the capacity to make her own decisions with the right decision-making tools in place as her family members have no provision like the power of Attorney to make decisions for her.
Q3: I would choose option 2 because using black mats next to the door to prevent her from entering the kitchen area is not an effective method of controlling falls because people with Alzheimer’s would see that as a sinkhole, increasing their risk of falling. It is not encouraging and would add to the health issues in her life and home.
Q4: The voice messages on Eve’s answering machine were just not completely clear, I genuinely think Eve might have sought to understand all of the other messages left on the answering machine, which could have accelerated Eve’s uncertainty.
