Mrs. Anjeela Johal KaurAnjeela Johal is 68 years old and has Alzheimer’s disease. Anjeela is a practicing Sikh and
her religious practices are important to her. Anjeela attends the Gurdwara, (temple) every
week, accompanied by her two sons, her daughters-in-law and their children. Recently
Anjeela attended a special celebration at the Gurdwara with her family. At the end of the
ceremony, one of her grand- children looked to where Anjeela had been sitting and found
that she was no longer there. Anjeela was found several yards away, at the site of her
previous home, looking for her husband who had died last year.
There have also been other instances, where Anjeela has become lost in familiar places and
is now developing mood swings where she varies from happy to angry and is difficult to
manage. The family have discussed Anjeela with the family G.P. and decided that she would
be better cared for in a residential setting. Anjeela has agreed to this, but is unhappy about
leaving her family home.
Anjeela has now moved to the Ashfold Residence where the staff are fully trained to support
her.
The manager of the residence has met with Anjeela and her family to discuss the care and
support required to ensure that Anjeela still achieves a high quality of life. The family have
informed the manager of Anjeela’s dietary preferences, her interests, likes and dislikes. The
family have also shared some of Anjeela’s history including her marriage, her work as a
teacher and medical conditions, she has type 2 diabetes and an allergy to penicillin.
It has been agreed, that one of her sons will collect her on Sunday mornings and drive her
to the Gurdwara. It has also been agreed, that if no one in the family is available, due to
holidays or illness, then one of the staff will accompany Anjeela to ensure that she is able to
follow her religious practices.
Anjeela was present at all planning stages and her opinions respected. She did become
distracted and forgetful in the sessions, and information gaps were filled by the family.
Anjeela was informed about decisions and appeared to be in agreement. The family have
brought pictures from home to place on the walls of Anjeela’s room in the residence and a
CD player, so that she can listen to traditional music.
The residence celebrates all of the major festivals from the major faiths and Anjeela was
supported in making and distributing food for tasting to the other residents during Diwali.
Anjeela has been provided with photographs of the family and her career as a teacher and
loves to chat to the other residents about the children she taught. She sometimes becomes
confused and appears to forget where she is. The staff remind Anjeela that she now lives in
the residence, using her preferred title of Mrs Johal Kaur.
