Case study

Mrs Richmond is a 71-year-old woman who lives in a unit in a retirement village. She has always cooked her own meals and baked cakes and scones for herself, her family members and friends. Lately she has been experiencing some memory loss. Staff from the village have been called to her unit three times to respond to a smoke alarm. They discovered that she had forgotten to take things out of the oven and they had become burnt and set off the alarm. When staff attended the unit, they noticed that Mrs Richmond’s kitchen was dirty, she had out-of-date food in the fridge and she did not seem to have washed properly.

There is one question.
