Problem:
As a social work intern at an older adult agency, I'm currently doing supportive with my client who is a caregiver for her father who is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and dementia. She has always been constantly overwhelmed from taking care of her father. Recently we had our fifth counselling session, greeted her for the holidays. She had told me that Dad is doing a little better as she noticed that he has been a little less aggressive these days. I inquired what was responsible for this and she responded with she just thinks he is beginning to change gradually, according to her, it may be due to the consistency of the care he is getting and plus he has a new male aide now who is helping well but the only issue is that he doesn't clean the home that much. She described that she feels a little relieved presently except for her son who is depressed and recently crashed out but said she is not worrying too much about that as her divorced husband will have to deal with that. I asked as he feels about her dad's improvement. She described that she is very happy about it and she hopes it continues this way. We discussed self care and implore her to take it seriously as this is necessary to avoid breakdown. She also informed me that her Dad has a regular sleep pattern now for the past 2 weeks. I commended her efforts for the good job and encourage her to keep the fire burning. What would you say was the result of this meeting, write a follow up plan and plans for next meeting?
