. Case Study – two
George is a recently widowed 70 year old gentleman who cares for his 50 year old learning disabilities son Paul. Paul is loving and affectionate but demands care and attention. He is unable to live independently and is dependant on George for assistance with his daily living activities.
George loves his son and enjoys his company. But George misses his wife and feels desperate in his struggle to manage the care of his son on his own. There are no other relatives, although his elderly neighbours will go to the local shop for George if he needs anything. But he doesn’t like to bother them and money is a worry.
When his wife was alive, he was able to meet his old work colleagues for an hour, once a week, at the local working men’s club. That’s all finished now, for he promised his dying wife that he would not see Paul placed into care while he was alive, to look after him. George is tired, losing weight and is finding it increasingly difficult to sleep. He is worried now that he is on his own, about how much longer he will able be able to cope.
