An 94-year-old woman, Mrs. A, lives alone after being discharged from the hospital for a fall in her garden. She struggles with daily tasks like bathing, getting in and out of bed, and using the toilet without assistance. A neighbor helps with shopping and checks on her daily, as Mrs. A has difficulty walking long distances, but otherwise receives little social interaction and often feels lonely, despite not wanting to leave the home she has lived in for over 50 years.

Case study 1 Mrs A, aged 94, lives alone and has recently been discharged from hospital after suffering a fall in the garden. She has a perching stool installed in her bathroom but can no longer bathe without help, and says that she finds it hard getting in and out of bed and going to the toilet although she currently receives no help to do so. Since Mrs A finds it difficult to walk long distances, a close neighbour has started to help with shopping and comes in every day to check on her, but otherwise she doesn’t really get any visitors. She says that she often feels lonely, but has lived in her home since her 40s and doesn’t want to move away.
