Introduction To Case

Social Support System: Ruby and Irving have lived in their CCRC for 6 years and have many friends. Ruby has made friends with the activity director (who is also Jewish) in assisted living and they have collaborated to offer annual Passover Seders for the Jewish residents that reside in the community, which is a small percentage of residents. Ruby and Irving have three daughters that reside in different states. Their oldest daughter is a Rabbi and is available to travel when necessary. Their middle daughter is a CPA and is very busy most of the year as she has her own business. Their youngest daughter is a social worker in a hospital setting.

Introduction To Case Cont.

Current living environment: The couple lives in a CCRC with multiple levels of care. Ruby feels that she has the emotional and social support that she needs to care for Irving; however, she is struggling as Irving is having more difficulty ambulating and is becoming more frustrated and agitated. Irving used to write out his day and follow the sheet of paper; however, this task has become nearly impossible. Irving is very frustrated as he was the professor of engineering at the local university. At times Ruby must call for assistance when Irving refuses to take his medications or becomes angry and unmanageable. Ruby knows that Irving could go to the memory care assisted living on campus, but she is struggling with the guilt of not being able to care for her husband of 72 years and the financial effect of the move.
