TASK 3– CASE STUDY 2
Mr Joe Simpkins is a care manager. He has a case load where a client Mrs Mary is 68 years old,
barely being maintained at home and desperately in need of permanent nursing placement. The
client’s family are putting Mr Joe under constant pressure to get it sorted as soon as possible. Mr
Joe has carried out assessment and completed all paperwork and the funding has been
approved.
The issue is there are no nursing beds in social services contracted homes within 40 miles
radius. There is a private nursing home but their fees exceed the social services benchmark
figure.
Mr Joe has explained on several occasions to the family that the private bed can’t be used unless
the family wants to top up the fees.
The District nurses visit Mrs Mary regularly. They are also feeling the pressure and understand
the situations perfectly well but when confronted by the increasingly depressed family members,
they occasionally lapsed into saying things like “if only social services pulled their fingers out”.
The District nurses have complained to the community health partnership unit. The nurses feel
there is a miscommunication and lack of understanding to the severity of the health condition of
Mrs Mary. The issue is the client and is yet to be resolved.

social care services. [AC3.2]
