Area of Assistance and Assessed needs per outcome:
Individual is funny, creative person who loves to joke around, and she thrives with staff who appreciate a warm, encouraging, and engaging approach. She requires visual supervision while in the community so support staff can provide immediate assistance when needed, and close and constant supervision during any seizure activity, following her individualized protocol. At home, she is independent in the bathroom and benefits from auditory supervision, with staff staying close enough to respond if she calls. She uses a caregiver alert button during showers, in her bedroom, and at night to request help or signal early seizure symptoms. Due to limited peripheral vision, she feels more comfortable when staff approach calmly and announce themselves to avoid startle or anxiety. She enjoys staying socially connected and appreciates support with community involvement, daily living tasks, and household routines. Staff assist her with grocery shopping, household purchases, and chores such as laundry, sweeping, and general upkeep. Laundry support includes measuring detergent, managing water temperatures, transferring clothes, and folding or putting items away. After seizures, she may temporarily need full assistance with tasks she usually completes independently, and staff should assess her readiness before encouraging participation. In the community, staff stay close to prevent falls, especially on uneven terrain or when she is weak, and mobility devices such as a wheelchair, walker, or crutches must be transported as needed. A properly authorized person must administer medications. Staff also assist her with meal preparation, transportation, and planning. She attends camp one weekend a month and a two‑week summer session.
