Case Study Scenario: Ill Health
Mr Khan is an 80-year-old man who lives on his own following the death of his wife two years ago. He was born in Pakistan and moved to live in the UK over 35 years ago. He has been a healthy and active member of the local Asian community. Mr Khan’s family live close by and keep in daily contact with him. Mr Khan fell in his garden and fractured one of his hips. He has been recovering in hospital for three weeks and the discharge care manager at the hospital hopes a return home is possible once a multi-disciplinary team assessment has taken place. However, Mr Khan’s son is concerned that his father is becoming confused and anxious about returning home so he has volunteered to act as an advocate for his father during the multi-disciplinary team meetings.
