Living independently in her suburban home

Reference no: EM133720001

You are an aged care worker assigned to assist an 82-year-old widow, Dorothy, living independently in her suburban home. Dorothy is known for her vibrant personality and love for gardening. During your routine visits, you provide companionship, assist with household tasks, and Dorothy's living environment remains safe and conducive to her independence. Recently, you have observed a change in Dorothy's demeanour. Usually she is cheerful and engaged, she now appears withdrawn and is less talkative. During conversations, Dorothy sometimes mentions feeling overwhelmed and expresses concerns about her financial security, regarding the management of her late husband's estate, which is something you know little about. How could you ensure Dorothy receives the support she needs, considering the limitations of your professional role and identifying any additional professionals that should be involved?
