    Good overall presentation will be worth up to .5 of a mark for each article.
    Your analysis should be in your own words as much as possible, but when you use sentences or rephrase sentences from the articles you need to include quotes and/or intext citations. Too much reliance on actual text from the articles rather than your own words will result in lower marks.

  • Mr. Tom Heady is a 70-year-old Aboriginal man who is a new client of Farmdale Home Care Services

    2100 words and minimum 20-23 academic articles within last 5 years, apa 7th reference, Used case study 1. All details attached below.
    Case Studies
    Case Study 1 – Community Care
    Mr. Tom Heady is a 70-year-old Aboriginal man who is a new client of Farmdale Home Care Services. He comes from a big family, and is
    used to having his mob around him. He used to be physically active and involved in community activities. In the past month, his family have
    noticed changes in his behaviour; last week they found him wandering down the street. He does not seem to remember the incident. He
    does not seem to remember a lot of things. Mr. Heady is most comfortable in his own home, and can get around without too much issues
    at his place. However, his son has become very concerned about his change in behaviour, and reduced health status. He is not sure if his
    father is taking his regular medications for hypertension, cholesterol and diabetes. Mr. Heady’s son has temporarily moved Mr. Heady to
    his house. Since the move, Mr. Heady has become more agitated as he struggles to orientate himself, and is constantly bumping into
    furniture resulting in skin tears. He rarely goes out to community events and spends most of the day sitting in his chair.
