Question: How will you assess the role and importance of carers and family members for the person? Mrs. Alberto has been discharged and has come back home. Mr. Alberto has also been discharged from the respite care. You as a carer have noticed that Mrs. Alberto has not reached her premorbid state yet. She walks with a four-wheel frame and is not as independent as previously. She still needs regular physiotherapy, GP and hospital appointments, adequate rest to manage her pain and recovery post-surgery. She now needs help with her personal hygiene, household cleaning, shopping and therefore, not capable to look after her husband. However, she is worried about the quality of the care that would be provided to Mr. Alberto. Therefore, she is reluctant to receive any support and is adamant on caring for her husband herself. Mr. and Mrs. Alberto have two children who are supportive and live nearby. They have young families and work full time. Mrs. Alberto stated that they keep in touch on a daily basis and visit every weekend. She also has supportive neighbours who would be happy to help.
