Document Summary
Could be a stroke but usually is a development of multiple things. Help is needed with adls and iadls - home activities. Rite of passage - leaving one type of identity behind and developing another identity - takes place in the assessment process - being fitted into boxes and having to expose oneself. Separating from your past self to get help. You have to play the sick role - learning to play the role to get minimal help. If family members say they are managing well the services would be given to someone who says they do not manage well. You have to say i am at the end of my rope . Older people don"t know the game of the assessment process. We talk about people as being dependent or not-dependent. If someone says they need 2 hours to bathed because they don"t want to feel rushed the provider says no only half hour will be allotted.
