As Human Services workers, we get referrals with new client information all the time. Often these referrals come with a short description of the client and why they need our services. As we prepare for that first session, we either reflect on ourselves or with our supervisor or team about the information we know.

In this assignment

Joseph is an 80-year-old man residing in his own home. Joseph has 3 children who all live over an hour away. Joseph was widowed 3 years ago, and he has struggled to continue to engage in activities that he would do with his wife. His wife had done all the cooking, scheduling and organizing of the household. Joseph's children all work and have families, resulting in them being busy and one child checking in each week. The children had noticed that Joseph is not keeping up with cleaning and has lost weight. He seems to not be keeping details straight and is presenting as forgetful. Joseph misses going to mass on Sunday and hosting big family dinners like the family held before his wife died and their children got so busy with their own family. Joseph is saddened things are different than when he was raising a family and they prioritized spending time with grandparents. Joseph's children contacted you because they want to see him enter the senior living community where you work. They reported that he recently fell but would not use the life alert system or call one of them for help. This was the last straw for the children worried about their father's safety
