Presenting Issue(s)
Mr. Wilson's hospital admission was in response to paramedics responding
to his home after his medical alert system became activated. Mr. Wilson was
found on the floor by paramedics who reported he had difficulty recalling
information (e.g., his name, what happened, emergency contacts). Mr.
Wilson reported not knowing what exactly had caused him to be admitted to
the hospital when asked on several occasions. Mr. Wilson expressed
reluctance/resistance to long-term placement when informed by his
daughter Anita of the IDT's discharge plan requiring some form of support
, before returning home due to safety concerns ("I am not going anywhere,
and I don't need your help… I've been alone for a year now, and I haven't
needed you.").
Referral Source
Mr. Wilson's admission to the hospital following a fall at home, with loss of
consciousness, subsequently alerted his Medical Alert System to contact
911. Sources of information include Mr. Wilson (patient), Anita (patient's
daughter), Sandra (patient's daughter), the Medical Alert System (includes
responding paramedics), and the Hospital Emergency Department.
Current Living Situation
Mr. Wilson has reportedly lived alone since his wife’s passing last year. The
daughters reported that at the time of their last visit to Mr. Wilson’s home,
it did not appear as clean as usual, with mail and bills piling up. Information
regarding transportation, insurance, employment, disability status, and
other daily living skills were not provided.

other school- and social-related history were not obtained.
Family Members and Relationships
Mr. Wilson is widowed (wife Mary passed within the last year). Known
living family members include two adult daughters (Sandra and Anita) and
several young grandchildren. Sandra and Anita visit Mr. Wilson once a
month, desire to visit more frequently (personal schedules complicate this),
and are current emergency contacts. There is active family conflict as all
parties appear to disagree on how to proceed with transitioning from the
hospital care setting. Anita suggests a long-term care facility, while Sandra
insists on keeping him with the family. Mr. Wilson appeared to oppose either
option for long-term care placement (“I’m not going anywhere, and I don’t
need your help. You and your sister can leave me alone. I’ve been alone for
