Case Study 2 LEONARDO AND ANDREA
Leonardo and Andrea are South American couple both in their early 70s who have been together for 50 years. They both came to the UK from Venezuela when they were in their 20’s, Andrea working as a nurse and Leonardo as an engineer and then a lecturer in a Further Education College. About five years ago Leonardo was diagnosed with Huntingdon’s disease. As a result of his condition and the uncontrollable movements associated with it, he can find it hard to spend very long in a sitting position and spends quite a lot of his time lying down. He has difficulties eating and needs help with his food at times. His speech is slow, but he is able to communicate.
The illness has taken a toll on Andrea and Leonardo’s relationship. Home Care workers who come in every couple of days have reported arguments between them and that there is often no food in the house. As he has become less mobile, Leonardo has become angrier and more irritable, and sometimes found it difficult to remember things. Andrea has become more withdrawn and often shouts at her husband. Andrea did receive regular visits and help from her daughter Sheila, until a couple of months ago. Sheila tried to persuade her to get more support in caring for Leonardo. For example, the local church, which Andrea and Leonardo used to attend have offered to provide volunteers to sit with Leonardo. There is also local carers group that Andrea could attend. However, Andrea says she does not want help and following an argument between them about her father’s care, Andrea has told Sheila she is not welcome any more. A week ago, Andrea told the Home Care workers they were also not welcome and refuses to answer the door. The case has been referred to a social worker in the Adult Services Team.
