Sonia had been living alone independently. She had support from her children who visited each week to check on her. However, her family reported that Sonia was becoming forgetful, an incident occurred where Sonia had left the cooker on and a small fire was started. Family and friends were extremely concerned as there had been a number of such incidents.
Sonia, friends, and family, held a meeting with me, we discussed support options. Sonia decided on extra care accommodation with 24hr support. We supported the family with searching for the ideal accommodation for Sonia and a suitable extra care property was found for her. Sonia moved into extra care where she has settled in very well indeed the family visit throughout the week. Sonia now has her own independent living accommodation in a care environment with round the clock, individually tailored care.
