Sally is preparing a falls prevention strategy for Angelo, who she supports in an aged care facility. Angelo is 86 and has had two ministrokes that have caused him to fall in the past. One fall caused Angelo minor head injury, and he was momentarily concussed. Both times Angelo was unable to get up on his own Angelo is frightened of falling again so avoids walking around unnecessarily Sally wants to encourage Angelo to live independently and safely Sally uses the facilities risk assessment forms to assess Angelo’s risk of falling. She has organised Angelo’s carer (his son Michael) to be present for the assessment process During assesment, Sally interviews Angelo about his feelings about his previous fails. Angelo is embarrassed and doesn’t want to talk about it. When Sally talks to Angelo’s son Michael, about the falls, Michael says Angelo feels his integrity as a strong man has been weakened by the falls Sally is concerned because the falls mean that Angelo refuses to walk unless he has to. He is not going outside for exercise and avoids stairs or any uneven surfaces, which limits the activities he can do Sally is also concerned that Angelo smokes heavily. She does not know if this increases Angelo’s risk of stroke but she is worried about his health in general. Angelo also has a poor diet. He doesn’t eat many vegetables or much dairy, but eats a lot of sweet food, like pastries. Sally organises a meeting with Angelo, Michael and two other carers and her supervisor to discuss and plan the falls prevention strategy for Angelo. The meeting runs for an hour.
