With plans underway his health was declining, and Stacey was consulted to co-ordinate homecare services until his uncle’s apartment was sold and travel was arranged. What was an initial estimated 2-3 week process turned into a 4-5 month odyssey with a series of rapid turns of events. After selling the apartment, Peter had a fall, fracturing his back. This began a lengthy process to manage his health while working towards achieving his final wishes. During those months, as Peter’s health shifted, plans needed to be reworked every few weeks.
Peter had to move to a hotel with a fractured back from where Ageing Well Sorted helped arrange emergency respite to recover well enough to be allowed to fly.
The Scope ended up as follows:
- Coordinate and attend My Aged Care assessments
- Arrange apartment cleaner for property settlement
- Arrange urgent ACAT re-assessment after fall
- Ongoing liaison and paperwork with services, aged care provider and family
- Admit client to Respite care and complete paperwork for family
- Arrange clinical care meetings for readiness towards a long-haul flight
- Source quotes and coordinate overseas patient medical transfer
After five months and with Stacey’s help, Peter arrived on the island he was born on to live out his days as he wished.
