Alice is an aged care support worker. She has visited Stella, an older person who is 83, on numerous occasions. She has built trust and rapport with both Stella and her carer who is on a full time basis. On the last two visits Alice noticed Stella becoming unsteady on her feet and sitting for long periods of time. Alice suggests that an assessment may provide Stella with strategies to improve her strength and mobility. Stella becomes agitated and anxious that this may result in her being unable to go for walks with her carer. The carer confides to Alice that Stella insists on going for a walk but lately has not been able to go past the front door. The carer is concerned that their walks will have to discontinue. Alice empathises with the carer as this is a concern for her.
