Read the scenario and answer the following question. Scenario: Fran Fran Agnesi is 68 years old and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease 2 years ago. She lives with her son (Nick) and daughter-in-law (Margie) in a one-bedroom flat which is separate from the main house. This means Fran has access to assistance when she needs it, but also has some privacy. Fran is widowed. Nick and Margie have recently noticed changes in Fran’s behaviour and ability to look after herself. Fran can become confused, distressed and agitated quickly and needs to be reminded to attend to her personal hygiene. Nick works full time and has to travel interstate regularly. Margie works as a part time administrative officer at a high school. They have 2 children who both live at home. Their son (Tom) is 23 years old, and their daughter (Gemma) is 18 years old. Margie and Gemma provide most of the support for Fran and help with her shopping and some domestic chores. Recently, Margie had to stay in hospital following a medical procedure. Nick needed Tom and Gemma to help him provide support for Fran while Margie was away. Due to changes in Fran’s behaviour and complaints and resentment from Tom and Gemma, Nick decided that they needed some home care services to help take away some of the pressure and responsibility from his family. Nick contacted Indigo about this. During the initial Indigo assessment for home care, Nick talked about some of his mother’s behaviours and asked for advice on how to deal with these. You are an Indigo Support Worker who will be providing most of the care for Fran. Fran requires assistance with showering, dressing, grooming, and some domestic chores. You are attending the home for the first time and want to talk with Fran and Nick (her son) to work out how you can best meet Fran’s needs. After chatting with Fran, Nick asks to speak to you in private. He tells you that Fran was more anxious and agitated than usual while Margie was in hospital. He says he has concerns about what has been happening between Tom (his son) and his mother (Fran). Nick tells you that Tom hasn’t been able to find a full-time job for the past 2 or 3 years and has had problems with aggression and drug use. He tells you he saw Tom pushing and yelling at Fran one afternoon and is concerned this may happen more often, as he is often left alone with Fran. He also mentions that last night he talked with Tom about possibly going and staying somewhere else.
