Mrs Chang is a frail and thin 82 -year-old woman in late stage Parkinson's disease. Until recently she has been living at home with the support of her 86-year-old husband Mr Chang. Mr and Mrs Chang have been married for 65 years and have one child, who died tragically in a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) 12 years ago. Many of their friends have pre - deceased them, and as a consequence they have very little social contact with the outside world.

Two weeks ago, whilst mobilising to the bathroom, Mrs Chang tripped and fell becoming trapped between the shower and the bathroom door. In a panicked state, Mr Chang called for an ambulance and Mrs Chang was admitted via the emergency department to the ward you are working in. Diagnostic and radiographic studies confirmed that no bony injuries were sustained as a result of the fall. However, given Mr and Mrs Chang's social situation and Mrs Chang's declining cognition and mobility issues the medical staff thought it best to admit Mrs Chang for further assessment and evaluation.
