22AllanAllan an 87 year old male who suffered a stroke now receives assistance from your employer “Home Care”, who provide in-home care support to Allan on a regular basis .The stroke caused him difficulty with maintaining his daily activities and limited his physical mobility and functioning. Recently, you have noticed that Allan has struggled getting himself in and out of his wheelchair and into bed in the mornings and at night. The transfers from his bed to his wheelchair are becoming more and more challenging for both you and Allan. There have even been a few occasions where he has incurred a fall. You have reported the incident on every occasion and voiced your concerns with Allan’s family for an alternative solution to help with the physical transfers. Allan’s family believe he would benefit from having an additional carer support you with this task at home. The option for Allan to move into a shared residential care facility has also been suggested, however Allan is not comfortable with this option. His family support his decision to remain at home, however there is insufficient funding available for Allan to receive an additional home carer. Conduct a risk management assessment for Allan remaining at home (include at least one environmental, physical and emotional risk each). The template to conduct this assessment is on the next page.  RiskLikelihoodImpactExisting controlAdditional controlWho                       X Health Science Science Nursing AGED CARE 02 Share (0)
