Iris receives Home and Community Care Services to provide her with personal care services.
A review of her individualised plan indicates the following:
The HACC worker visits three times a week to shower Iris. She also has cleaning services once a week. The cleaners only do the bathroom and toilet as Iris has been able to manage vacuuming, dusting and general cleaning herself.
Iris has recently had a hip replacement. She is out of hospital and is now recovering at home. The HACC worker has called to discuss whether her services are now adequate.
She says that she doesn’t feel up to heavy work, but would still like to do as much cleaning as she is able to.
She also finds standing at the stove to cook her meals difficult.
She has received some equipment from the hospital to help her – a raised toilet seat and a front-wheeled walker. Iris says that she is not sure how she will go in the shower because she feels a bit unsteady.
