Example of a Client Visit Scenario
Your day starts with a visit to a client who is feeling isolated and emotionally vulnerable due to limited mobility and recent loss. You greet them with a gentle, caring approach, assist with their morning routine and provide prompts for medications as needed, while maintaining privacy and dignity. You ensure the home is safe and tidy, provide light housekeeping, and leave the client reassured about your next visit.
