Question

Stanley is 57 years old and has motor neurone disease (MND). Stanley uses a wheelchair and has limited mobility and speech. A case manager has prepared an individualised support plan for him. You are meeting with Stanley to introduce yourself and confirm the broad details of the individualised plan. The meeting is taking place in his home. Stanley lives with his wife, Mavis. Prior to visiting Stanley you take the time to read his file and the individualised plan that was prepared by Stanley’s case manager. When you arrive, Mavis opens the door and guides you to where Stanley is waiting for you in the living room. Mavis does most of the talking, and discusses Stanley’s MND in quite a lot of detail. Stanley seems withdrawn and says very little. You spend some time introducing yourself, sharing some of your professional background and listening to Mavis speak, and trying to ask Stanley some questions about himself too. You try and establish rapport with Stanley and Mavis. Stanley and Mavis’ home is quite busy and cluttered, and sometimes when Stanley wants to reach an item or complete a task, he is unable to get very close to the bench or table and has to lean out of his wheelchair. The support worker suggests that an aid could be useful to help him reach across to objects. You ask Stanley if he would like to review the draft individualised plan that was prepared with his case manager. Stanley agrees and, together with Mavis, you and Stanley review the plan. You ensure that you have brought two copies of the plan so that Stanley and Mavis each have a copy. The draft plan includes the goals that Stanley developed with his case manager, but the support activities have not been confirmed. Many of the activities focus on supporting Stanley to maintain as much independence as possible and to remain living at home with Mavis. Answer the following questions: If Stanley seems to show signs of depression in the future, is this a problem that the support worker should be able to manage alone? Could there be signs of unmet or additional needs? Who else might be able to assist Stanley with depression and how should this be reported confidentially and referred on for additional assistance? Consider the duty of care and dignity of risk requirements. give 60 words only
