Experiential Abuse and Neglect Prevention Training
Graciela Gris Scenario
Scenario Overview:
Graciela Gris is a 60-year-old woman with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Her
ability to move is compromised. She lives alone and receives assistance
from two home health service agencies. Some days, both the personal care
worker and home health aide are at Graciela's home at the same time. This
occurs when Peggy, the personal care worker, comes in for about 30 minutes
to assist with cares.
Two people are needed to transfer Graciela to the bathtub. Peggy has
noticed that Halle, the home health aide, seems to lack patience with
Graciela and her inability to move quickly. Peggy suspects that some care
basics have been neglected, like assisting Graciela with her stretching
exercises. She also suspects that Halle does not always make sure Graciela
has taken her medication. She always seems to be in a rush when she is
working with Graciela.
Scenario Learning Points:
- Recognize the signs of neglect by a caregiver
- Understand appropriate intervention strategies when observing
possible misconduct by caregivers outside your agency
- Understand duty to report poor care or mistreatment in any
situation
