QUESTION 13

Mabel lives at home alone. She is a very independent woman and enjoys working as a volunteer in the community and also runs an art class. Mabel fell and broke her shoulder. She needed surgery and spent ten days in hospital. Once she was clinically stable, she was worried about how she would manage at home as she had no family close by. She was told that she would be dependent on support for activities of daily living for up to two months while her shoulder repaired itself.

Mabel was very worried that she would have to remain in hospital for that time, however arrangements were made for her to be discharged from hospital and receive assistance at home until she was able to be independent once more.

A care plan was set up and was planned to go for six weeks at which time it would be re-evaluated. Care included showering, dressing, cleaning, transport to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and meals on wheels.

At her review after six weeks Mabel has very happy with her progress. She was going back to volunteer work one day a week and planning to restart her art classes next week. She had cancelled the meals on wheels the previous week as she found she was able to cook for herself now. It was agreed that she no longer needed home support.

Discuss the advantages that a reablement approach had for Mabel compared with more traditional models of care.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE SUPERVISOR

As part of the evidence of competency for this student, we are seeking reports from the student’s work placement supervisor. This forms part of the evidence for the unit CHCAGE001 Facilitate the empowerment of older people.

What is the purpose of this?

The purpose of this process is to gain confirmation from someone who has worked regularly with the student who can verify that the student performs their skills satisfactorily to workplace requirements on a regular basis.

How will the information I provide be used?

The assessor will use the information you provide in this report, combined with other assessment evidence provided by the student to make a final decision about competency. How and when do I fill in the report?

You do not need to observe the student over a particular period of time or completing certain tasks. If you place a tick in the ‘Yes’ column in the report, you are confirming that you are comfortable with the student’s skills in the relevant area and that you have seen them work satisfactorily to workplace expectations.

Please also include comments and examples in the space provided wherever possible. 

If you do not believe that the student demonstrates appropriate skills in the area listed, please place a tick in the ‘No’ column and provide reasons and comments about why you have said ‘No’. If you are unsure or not able to comment on the student’s skills in a particular area, please place a tick in the ‘Not able to confirm’ column; or if the student is still undertaking placement, then you may still be able to watch their work in these areas so you are then able to comment on the suitability of their skills. 

What should I do if I am unsure of the expectations?

Please contact the student’s assessor if you are unsure of any of the requirements of filling in this Supervisor Report. The student will have their direct contact details.

Who should fill in this report if I am unable to do so?

If you are not able to confirm the student’s skills in all of the following areas, please confirm the areas you can and ask another qualified person from the workplace to confirm skills in the other areas. They will also need to sign the report.
