Ms. Jessop, a 68-year-old woman lives alone and has lived alone since her husband died 20 years ago. She does not have any children but she lives close to her younger sister, Mary. Ms. Jessop lives in a small two-storey house in the country. She was recently discharged from the hospital following rehabilitation for a fractured right femur after falling on the ice approximately 6 weeks ago. Her home has a small kitchen with a gas stove where she loves to cook. She states she has a good appetite, "so I have to cook my own food." Although she is concerned about how she will manage with meal preparation now that she is home, she refused her sister's help.

Since returning home, Ms. Jessop states that she occasionally feels weak and unsteady on her feet. She tends to forget things more often now. Yesterday she forgot the pot on the stove and only remembered when the fire alarm went off. She loves to drink tea "I like it piping hot," she states. Today she fills up the bath tub and steam could be seen coming from the water before she got in. She is still able to do her ADL's, every other Saturday she irons her sheets before replacing them on the beds. The iron cord looks worn but she refuse to replace it, "it works just fine," she told the nurse when the nurse suggested that she gets a new iron.

Ms. Jessop has been an active member of her community. She belongs to a senior's daily walking group and previously attended water aerobics classes three times a week at her local community pool. She enjoys attending her weekly church group. Ms. Jessop states she is worried that she may not be able to continue these activities.
