Mrs. Chawla, do you understand why I am here? My
name is Luis Fisher. Im a care manager.
5
I was contacted by your GP, Doctor Hassan. I am
here to complete an initial assessment of your
needs.
6
Maya thinks Im not capable of looking after
myself.
Mum gets help with shopping and cleaning. Jean is
her home help. I work full time so its hard for
me to come round as often as Id like to.
7
I dont need help from outside the family. I can
look after myself. Im a diabetic and have to
keep on top of what and when I eat.
But you sometimes forget to turn off the gas and
sometimes buy things you dont need.
8
Its true I sometimes forget things, but I
remember to take my insulin twice a day dont I
Maya?
I know you do Mum, but what if you start
forgetting?
I can see how this must be very frustrating for
you Mrs. Chawla. Your GP, Doctor Hassan, does
share some of your daughters concerns, however,
if you do have difficulty remembering things,
its best that we make the appropriate
arrangements.

Go on then, Mr Fisher. Ill answer your
questions, but first can you tell me again why
you are here?
