Dave* was showing increased signs of agitation and distress when spending time in his home. He had also suffered from increased falls and this impacted upon Dave’s willingness to engage in community activities and as a result, his wellbeing declined.
The support team identified that a different home layout would be more suitable for Dave. When a home in the northern suburbs became available, plans commenced for Dave to relocate.
Dave has settled into his new home and has everything set up the way he likes it. A home-based physiotherapy program and weekly hydrotherapy session are scheduled to build strength and reduce the risk of falls. Dave’s agitation has subsided and he is again enjoying his regular activities and connecting with friends and family.
