QUESTIONS
1. Mavis suffers from severe dementia
Your client Mavis suffers from severe dementia. Prior to her diagnosis, she participated in many social activities including the country women’s
group, line dancing, and regularly attending church. But after the diagnosis, her condition worsened to the point that she could no longer live in
her own home and she now lives in an assisted living facility. She regularly forgets what day it is and gets frustrated over her unfamiliarity with
time.
a. In what ways could you assist to make the transition from home to the assisted living facility easier for Mavis?
Transitioning from home to an assisted living facility can be challenging for someone with severe dementia like Mavis. However, there are
several ways we can assist in making the transition easier for her. Here are some suggestions:
1. Establish a familiar routine: Maintain a consistent daily schedule for Mavis at the assisted living facility. This can help her feel more secure and
provide a sense of familiarity. Try to incorporate activities she used to enjoy, such as attending church services or engaging in hobbies, into her
routine.
2. Personalise her living space: Decorate Mavis' living space with familiar items from her home, such as family photos, cherished belongings, or
favourite decorations. Having the familiar objects around her can create a sense of comfort and help her feel more at home in the new
environment.
3. Maintain social connections: Encourage her to participate in group activities or join clubs within the assisted living facility that align with her
interests. This can help her build new relationships and prevent feelings of isolation.
4. Provide visual aids: Such as large clocks or calendars, to help Mavis keep track of time and date.This can help her maintain a basic
understanding of the passage of time.
5. Involve family and friends: Encourage regular visits from family and friends to maintain a sense of familiarity and support. Familiar faces can
provide comfort and a connection to her past.
These suggestions could help mavis in making her living easier and comfortable in assisted living facility.

c. Give two examples of how you would ensure person-centred practice in this scenario.
To ensure person-centered practice in the scenario of assisting Mavis in transitioning to an assisted living facility, here are two examples:
1. Individualised Care Planning: Work closely with Mavis, her family, and the care team to develop an individualized care plan that reflects her
unique needs, preferences, and goals. Involve Mavis in decision-making to the extent that she is able, taking into account her past interests and
routines. The care plan should outline specific strategies to support her well-being, maintain her dignity, and promote engagement in activities
she enjoys. Update the care plan based on ongoing assessments and feedback from Mavis and her family.
2. Person-Centered Communication: Follow communication strategies to meet Mavis's specific communication abilities and preferences. Use
simple and clear language, provide visual cues, and allow her sufficient time to process information and respond. Provide a warm and supportive
environment where Mavis feels heard and valued. Seek her input and involve her in decision-making whenever possible. Continuously observe
and listen to her non-verbal cues to understand her needs and emotions. Respect her privacy and confidentiality in all interactions.

After experiencing a number of health problems, Peter (85 years old) has recently moved in with his son Joe and daughter-in-law Alyssa in an
up-and-coming subdivision just outside of the city. In recent months, Peter has experienced a number of health concerns, including some falls
and frequent problems remembering things. Doctors think Peter might be showing signs of dementia.
Lately, Peter has noticed that he has not been receiving his mail as he did when he lived by himself. Peter asked Joe if he has noticed anything
about the missing mail. Joe assures him that when the mail is delivered to the mailbox at the end of their road, he makes sure to collect and open
all of Peter’s mail to ensure it is handled promptly. This makes Peter uneasy. He feels he is completely capable of dealing with his own mail and
does not feel that Joe needs to do it for him. However, since he has recently moved in with Joe and is relying on Joe to help him with some of his
day-to-day tasks, Peter is fearful of confronting his son and hurting his new living arrangement.

1. Self-awareness: Pay attention to your physical and emotional health. Notice if you feel overwhelmed, irritable, anxious, sleep patterns or
appetite and take appropriate actions if there is any problem.
2. Check-in with yourself: Regularly take time to reflect on your overall well being and stress levels. Ask yourself how you're feeling and if you're
managing stress effectively.
3. Self-care: Exercise, mindfulness practices, hobbies, spending time in nature, or engaging in activities that bring you joy. Regularly engaging in
self-care activities can help mitigate the impact of stress.
4. Monitor physical health: Pay attention to changes in your body, such as headaches, muscle tension, digestive issues, or frequent illnesses.
Regularly monitoring your physical health can help you recognize the impact of stress on your body and prompt you to seek appropriate care.
5. Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal life. Monitor your workload and ensure you have time for rest,
relaxation, and activities that recharge you. Setting boundaries can help prevent burnout and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

into how your performance or behavior may be influenced by stress.

Dementia is characterised by common signs and symptoms, such as memory loss, challenges in language and communication, confusion,
impaired judgment and changes in personality.
Pathologically, dementia is associated with the presence of abnormal protein deposits, including beta-amyloid plaques and tau tangles which
lead to deterioration and loss of brain cells.
Certain conditions like cardiovascular disease diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and a history of head injuries are known to be potentially
associated with the onset of dementia. These conditions can either increase the risk of developing dementia or contribute to its progression.
Dementia is characterised by several pathological features in the brain, including the accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles
neuronal loss inflammation vascular changes and the presence of Lewy bodies in certain types of dementia. These features contribute to the
cognitive decline and other symptoms observed in individuals with dementia.
