Care Coordinator Case Study

 

Scenario: David’s mother, Angie, is 84-years-old, legally blind, and has dementia. She recently
suffered a mini stroke, and the family was worried about in-home safety after she got discharged
from a rehab facility. David lives out of state and is flying to Arizona to be there with his parents
to help determine next steps. His father, John, has been feeling overwhelmed as the primary
caregiver. David’s parents have Medicare and Supplemental insurance and live in zipcode 85374.
They own the home they have lived in for 40+ years and want to ensure that they can remain
together. David is an employee who has access to Wellthy’s coordination services and you are
the assigned coordinator. David is overwhelmed and reaches out because he doesn’t know
where to start or how to plan for next steps.
Instructions: Using the ‘Presenting Findings to Customers Guide’ below and your own best
judgement, help David find the right fit nursing home(s) for his parents. Please include your
reasoning as to why you chose the ones you did over others, your final recommendation for
which facility to find to be the best fit, and top 3 questions you would have asked if you were
calling the location. Then, In a separate section, include bullets to outline what other tasks or
steps you would have taken prior to researching homes when David reached out to you sharing
the above scenario.
Send an email within 48 hours to David (let’s pretend David’s email address is
[email protected]) with the subject line: ‘A Home for Angie and John’ summarizing
your final recommendations. Spend no more than 1 hour doing the research. If you have any
questions about the facility that you can’t find the answer to over the internet, please don’t call
the facilities, but make up the answer to your questions yourself.
Presenting Findings to Customers Guide
Presenting findings can be a defining moment for the customer experience for some of our
most frequent tasks (Find In-Home Support, Find Living Facilities, Find Doctors).
Before starting to research, clearly define what things are required by the customer (e.g.,
must be covered by insurance) and what other things are important to them (e.g., as close
to my home as possible). These preferences should be present throughout your search.
A good presentation should be:
● Easy to understand
● Clearly point to what the best options are, based on the customer’s predefined
preferences
● Demonstrate that we did our duty in researching and are experts on the subject
1 Property of Wellthy, Inc. – for internal use only
● Show comparison in such a way that displays computer skills/knowledge
You can use this as a checklist before you send out your findings:
● Is the information easy to understand and visually pleasing?
● Does it clearly point out the best options?
● Are the customer’s preferences included in the research?
● Does this demonstrate we are experts and have researched accordingly?
Some best practices:
● Eliminate irrelevant information
● Use proper grammar
● Use formatting and colors to highlight important details, but be careful of
introducing too many colors or making the entire document bold
● To present comparisons, use a spreadsheet and chart
● Attach a PDF instead of sharing a Google/Excel/Word document (it looks more
professional and documents might change over time, while the PDF will store your
intent at that time)
● Reference your recommendations in a separate message, explaining the pros and
cons of each
● Mention briefly how many total findings you considered, so that the customer
knows you’ve done your research
● Try to fit your findings on one 8.5” x 11” piece of paper (horizontal or vertical) so the
customer does not have to flip through multiple pages and can print the sheet if
they would like

The following were the definition of ‘handicap’ given by the 1944 Education Act.

There had been a radical change in formulation of special-education concept by the Warnock Report in 1978, which emphasised that a student’s educational requirement should be given first priority instead of individual’s learning impairment or disability. As of date, in the background of educational provision, the phrase SEN has a legal meaning which connotes to children who have learning disabilities or difficulties that make it more arduous for them to access or learn education compared to other children of the same age. In 2001 the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act established the legal rights for disabled student by amending the Disability Discrimination Act of 1996. This act protected SEN and disabled students from discrimination in all educational settings

The Equality Act 2010

The Equality Act 2010 (herein after will be referred as EA) came into force with effect from 1st October 2010 in U.K, thereby grouping, harmonising and reshuffling 9 earlier Acts (The Race Relations Act (1976), The Race Relations Act (1076), Equal Pay Act 1970, The Race Relations Amendment Act (2000), Gender Discrimination Act , Equal Pay Act (1976) , The Human Rights Act (2000) , the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003 , the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief ) Regulations 2003 and the Children’s Act (2004) and more than one hundred sets of regulations legislated over forty years. Some of the unique features of EA 2010 are as follows;

  • The EA has developed a different definition of disability. The definition almost analogues to that of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 with following two chief exceptions;
  • Now, the precondition that a mental impairment should be clinically well-acknowledged illness has been removed.
