In approximately one hundred words, describe the differences between the giving of personal care for each of these situations. Is it a 'one-size fits all' approach, or is care planned for the individual needs of each client?

Elsie has dementia. She is a resident in a high-care nursing home. She needs significant help with personal

care, including showering, grooming, dressing, feeding, toileting and transferring.

Damien is a young man with MS. He has sound cognitive ability but is dependent on his wife for assistance

with all activities of daily living. His wife needs to go to hospital so she has arranged for home nursing while

she is unable to look after Damien. Damien will tell the carers what he requires and how he likes things to

be done.

Jessie cares for her mother, Maria, who lives next door to her. Maria is frail but has full cognitive function

and is able to undertake most activities of daily living without assistance. Jessie is having a baby in four

weeks' time.

Jessie has arranged for her mother to go into respite care for a month after the baby is born so she has

some time to recover from the birth and get used to her role as a mother. She is relieved that Maria will be

safe and have meals cooked for her.
