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?
Answer
Eve was able to answer the student nurse properly, But you can see that she sometimes appeared confused in her words though she managed to give the student the informnation she wants and she can also work with even some of her unspoken words you can still make sense out of the words she couldnt communicate.
Eve is obviously lonely and needs more care than Josie her daughter can offer. Josie appears to be struggling with the mum’s care bearing in mind that she has 3 young children that she is caring for and also trying to meet up with caring for her mum. She is trying but she will need more support for Eve and she will stand as an extra help just ensuring the mum gets the best care she deserves. Eve will need a career assigned to her that will come at some specific times everyday so that Eve is able to eat and drink well. Even mentioned that she doesnt know how many times her daughter comes in a day, Definately josie doesnt come every day listening to what Eve has said though she became confused and said she is not sure. She mentioned the fact that she was lonely and she was waiting for Josie to come and make her food and cup of tea. I can see that Eve goes hungry sitting there and waiting for her daughter to come and make her food. Listening to the Audio i was wandering what time does Josie come to the mum in the morning bearing in mind she has to prepare her kids for school and take them to school, What time does she get there in the afternoon and also in the evening. Definately Eve needs a care staff for more support.
John i can see is very passionate about the mum though he lives far a way, I can see how passionate John is towards the care of his mum. He can’t do much from his distance but he wants the best care for his mum and wants to be part of his care. He appears a bit helpless when he was talking to the nurse about his concerns and he gave more insight into the falls history of Eve that Josie never mentioned and also some insight about Josie taking stuff from his mum. There could be more things happening in the home front i think the social worker or nurse needs to pay a visit to Eve and see things first hand.
Also Eve appear to be hiding informations and she doesnt want to hurt josie because she appreciates all what the daughter is doing for her.
