Problem
Scenario:
You are employed as a support worker for an organisation that provides support to clients in their own homes. Your client is a 71-year-old man named Joseph. Joseph has limited mobility in his legs, a slight hearing impairment and diabetes. While Joseph can stand and walk short distances with his walking stick, he often uses a wheelchair to assist in his mobility.
You have been hired to escort Joseph to his niece's wedding and the following reception. You will be required to pick him up from his home, transport him to the venue, assist him in his personal support needs while at the wedding and then return him home.
Considering Josephs personal support needs, what would three of your responsibilities include as his support worker throughout the night. Remember to consider the context in which you are delivering these supports (i.e. out in the community).
