|Case Stud: Home Services|Mrs Xinitially accessed our community<br>support service via a family|
|Introduction|member who made the referral.<br>The criteria was to introduce|
||community<br>support to the client slowly as the client only went out to|
||access medical appointments.<br>She was hesitant to have someone<br>in her|
||home for company.|
|Reasons for the project|Encourage client to build confidence to get out and about<br>in the local|
||community.|
|What isthe baseline data'|Mrs Xhad fami(y around<br>her who were not always able to visit her due to|
||their own commitments.<br>Community<br>support was suggested<br>to Mrs X|
||with the aim ofproviding<br>a befriending<br>service.<br>Mrs Xwas reluctant<br>at|
||first but agreed on the basis that the worker attending<br>would only stay|
||for a short period oftime.<br>Itwas also requested<br>that a hot meal be|
||provided<br>from ACT during the visit as another way to engage with the|
||client.|
|Impact/<br>Difference made to|An experienced<br>worker was allocated to Mrs Xand began to visit on a|
|client/ service/ organisation|weekly basis, on the same day and time each week. Repetition was|
||important to build up a relation with the client.|
||When the visits began Mrs Xwould come out into the front garden and|
||collect her meal from the worker with limited communication<br>and would|
||then return<br>inside her property.<br>As the weeks continued<br>Mrs Xwould|
||spend longer with the worker and invited the worker into her home.|
||This was a positive progression<br>for Mrs Xwho was regaining<br>confidence|
||and enjoying time spent with the worker.|
||Age Connects Torfaen's service involvement<br>meant that Mrs Xwas now|
||receiving community<br>support for the full allocated time, giving peace of|
||mind to her family who initiated the support.|
|Activities carried out|Following the initial family referrala<br>worker was allocated to complete|
|(what did you do)|the weekly community<br>support.|
||This service provision<br>included<br>a meal delivery<br>on the same day and time|
||each week.|





|What went well?|||Mrs|Xand her family were able to rely upon the service being provided|
|---|---|---|---|---|
||||and|were able to see the positive impact it was having on Mrs X.|
||||The|support ofAge Connects Torfaen Home Services team contributed|
