Until one morning she called her lady friend to bring her to the bathroom and while she was left unattended, she had swollen knees and felt dizzy. This is what could have caused the fall she had. She had a fall earlier this year that stopped her from being independent, and walking she can walk a little bit but is too afraid in case she falls again, she nearly lost her life to that kic k the bucket fall. she has 5 children and a late husband that has passed, her children call almost every day like they have been doing so she has settled in and feels at home here with us.Detailed account of the challenges experienced by the clientThe challenges she is living with is she cannot walk untold anymore and cant do the things she use to do, she was an independent adult female and still at her age was making dinner partys, washing dishes washing cloths and hanging them out to dry on the line etc. she is incapable of washing herself without help and using the bathrooms so I go with her if she needs any help now she has to have all that done for her because she cant face the challenges anymore stock-still though she would like to..Detail account of the competences demonstrated by the clientShe is able to feed herself and always had a part to where she was up at 8 in the morning and start preparing dinner for 1 o clock everyday afternoon after her breakfast, so I make sur e her routines the alike(p) as it always has been.
