SCENARIO

Imagine you are a social worker and you are visiting Mary.

Mary is living in a small rural area in South Dakota for over 80 years. She married her friend from the local college and raised with him 3 children. Her husband past away over 30 years ago in an accident while on his job. She decided to stay at the same house after his death. One of her children lives on the same property with her and another in town. One other child moved away.

She is suffering from diabetes and hypertension and a visiting nurse service is assisting her with insulin shots. The social worker and the nurse who visits her are concerned about forgetfulness and lack of care for her home. The concern is about her safety at home and her capacity to care for herself. Mary has two friends who live near her and are making efforts to visit her. In the recent visit with the social worker, she expressed a desire to go and volunteer at the local hospital at the children's unit.
