Case Scenario

The borough of Trafford was experiencing significant delays in home care providers responding to requests to provide multiple care visits for clients. This was resulting in significant numbers of delayed transfers of care and sometimes meant that older people were staying in a hospital bed longer than necessary. Stabilise and Make Safe (SAMS) is a short-term intervention designed to increase a person’s chance of long term independence following hospitalisation or a community referral. It is limited to six. A social worker, you will carry out statutory assessment at the start of the intervention and a follow up assessment at the end to measure outcomes (level of independence achieved).

You are working as a social worker with Trafford Council and have a multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting to discuss the service user (Mabel) who suffered a stroke resulting in memory problems and was discharged home with the support of a re-ablement service. Your line manager has asked you to produce at the next MDT meeting a fact sheet to discuss Mabel’s case in which all members of the team will be present. They include doctors, nurse, physiotherapist, speech therapist, and pharmacist and family members. You can draw on your own work experience in creating your factsheet.
