Eighty-Eight Year-Old Demented Woman Lives Alone Independently: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Family Medicine and Disease Prevention - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The care team discussed the reason of her independence and the plan on how to provide care for her. We concluded that she was independently capable of living in her own home in her small, very familiar community. She has three close, familiar friends nearby to frequently chat and drink tea with. Situated near the city of Ishinomaki - which was destroyed by the great tsunami in 2011 - her small community is safely located far from the city center and on a hilltop.
