Task 1c
Case study: Warren and Cara
Warren is a domiciliary care worker who has been working with
Cara (aged 58) who lives alone and has been diagnosed with early onset dementia. Cara has always insisted that she wants to stay in her own home and her family agree and want her to be supported there. Warren’s belief is that her needs would be better met in a residential home as he knows they have specialist support there. He has carried out a risk assessment and is concerned about Cara’s health and safety, particularly when she cooks or switches on her gas fire.
1 Why is it important for Warren to observe Cara’s reactions as he starts to talk about moving to a residential home?
