Could Shirley benefit from the CT Homecare Program?
28 CASE EXAMPLE #2 Fred and Linda live in their own home and their neighbors called the Town Social Services Dept. expressing concerns about this couple. The Social worker made a homevisit to meet with Fred and Linda. Linda was confused, repeating herself throughout the interview. Fred seemed completely exhausted and overwhelmed in trying to care for his wife. The home was in need of cleaning, there was little food in the house and a strong urine odor was coming from Linda. Her hair appeared to need washing. Fred said he gets no help and does the best he can to take care of his wife. Combined they get $3,000 / month in social security and a small pension. Should SW make a referral to CHCPE?
