Mrs. G. is a 75 year old Hispanic woman who has been
relatively well all of her life. She had been married for 50 years and had five
children. Her children are grown with families of their own. All but one of her
children live in other states. Mrs. G.’s husband passed away last year, which
was devastating for her. She had been very close to him and relied upon him for
everything. He was “the life of the party” she always said and was a
loving and caring man. Since his passing, Mrs. G. has continued to live in the
house they shared for 35 years. In the last month, Mrs. G. has fallen twice
sustaining injuries, though minimal. Her home health nurse comes weekly to
check in on her. Mrs. G. likes her very much and wishes she could come more
often. Mrs. G.’s daughter who lives in the next town over, has been worried and
decided with the urging of her siblings and the doctor to start looking for an
assisted living facility for her mother. She found one last week and talked
with the Director who said she would be happy to help in whatever way was best.
The daughter decided to tell her mother that it was time for her to move, so
she can be cared for and be safe. When she told her mother, Mrs. G. cried and
said, “This will not happen ever. I plan to stay in this house of loving
memories for the remainder of my life.”

In 3 – 4 pages answer the following questions:

How would you best describe Mrs. G.’s feelings about her
life, her family, her traditions, and her future?

Did Mrs. G.’s response to her daughter surprise you? Please
explain your answer.

In what way do you believe her culture might be influencing
her decision?

If you were Mrs. G.’s daughter what would you say to her
that shows you are caring and have compassion for her situation? What nonverbal
communication would support that level of communication?

Suppose Mrs. G. stands firm about not leaving her house.
What resources and collaborations might be available and helpful so the
daughter and other healthcare providers can keep her mother safe and make the
most effective decision?
