Case Study:
Janice Roberts Janice Roberts is 70 years old. Five years ago, Janice’sfamily noticed that she was having difficulty finding words when engaging in conversation and was also having trouble writing. Janice’s GP diagnosed her with Alzheimer’s disease. Janice also has Type II Diabetes. Janice is currently being cared for by her younger sister Jean. Jean has some support from Janice’s daughter and her husband. Jean moved in with Janice three years ago when Janice started forgetting to take her diabetes medication, and had several hospitalisations as a result. Jean and Janice’sdaughter report that Janice’s behaviour has changed in the last nine months or so. Janice is becoming irritable and aggressive and on several occasions has been verbally abusive towards Jean, who says it is out of character. Jean has described Janice’s mood swings as being the worst in the evening and that Janicehas recently had trouble sleeping. Janice’s irritation extends to her taking her prescribed medication. At times Janice refuses to take her medication for her diabetes, which is increasing Janice’s diabetes symptoms.Janice has also had trouble recognising where the toilet is. On several occasions, Janicehas used a flower pot in the backyard to urinate. On occasion, Janice has also forgotten to go to the toilet when she needs to urinate. This problem is increased by Janice’sfrequent need to urinate as a symptom of her worsening diabetes.
