Q1) Q1: What services would you consider referring to for Eve to remain at home?
1. Dementia Nursing Team, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist and consider carers.

Q2) Q2: Eve has Alzheimer’s disease, and her son and daughter are both inputting into her care. Who should be making the decisions about Eve’s care?
2. Her son as he seems to be more aware on the situation. However the decision should be Eve herself. In the future, Eve’s children should be setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) document, stating her preferences for who decides about care.

Q3) Q3: It is ok to adapt the home to ensure that Eve does not do things that may put her at risk. Stopping her from going into the kitchen area by using black mats next to the door is an effective way to manage falls.
2. No, this is not good. It is not supportive and is going to cause further complications within Eve’s house and life.

Q4) What did you understand from the answerphone messages left on Eve’s telephone? How did these messages sound to you? How do you feel about putting yourself in Eve’s shoes and hearing the answer phone messages as if you were her?

Eve believes she can look after herself and does not want to bother her kids that much. On the other hand Johns seems to have a insight and is aware into his mum’s condition whereas Josie does not seem to be very much aware, maybe she is in denial or finding it hard to accept her mum’s condition.
