Kaiya has been living in an assisted living facility after taking a fall in her house. She has actively participated in physical therapy and has shown an increase in her abilities to take care of herself. She really missed her freedom and being surrounded by people she knows and loves. She is extremely shy and does not like to be around strangers. So despite all her physical improvements, she remained very sad. Kaiya’s doctor should most likely
wait for six months and see if her attitude has changed.
arrange a transfer to Kaiya’s granddaughter, who is able to care for her.
discharge Kaiya to allow her the chance to find her own facility.
suggest to the nursing assistant, Dan, that he take her to more social events.
