Scenario:
Stan as he likes to be called, is 85 years old, originally from Poland but now lives alone in a first floor flat in Edinburgh. He lived in Poland until the war when he was enlisted into the army but then captured and kept in a prisoner of war camp. He was finally liberated at the end of the war but was to discover that all his family had been killed during the war. He relocated to Scotland to start a new life and trained as a baker, working for next 40 years. He married his wife Edna but they had no family.
Sadly Edna died 5 years ago and although he says he has been managing fairly well since her loss he admits to feeling sad and lonely at times. He has no other family but has a small circle of friends who he tries to see regularly. It is becoming increasingly difficult for him to get out, even to get his shopping. He has been relying heavily on his neighbour to get his groceries.
He has diabetes requiring to take insulin, however, as he has not been managing his condition very well particularly around his diet he has developed diabetic complications and has lost a lot of weight. He has also become severely visually impaired and has a major circulation problem and an infected ulcer on his left foot.
In discussion with the multidisciplinary hospital team it was decided following assessment that Stan would not able to manage safely at home as his care requirements were too complex now. Stan has become very depressed about his situation and wonders what the next steps could be.
