  1. QUESTIONS?

  2. Case Review Mr. Johnson is a 81 year-old widowed gentleman who resides in a senior apartment building. On Friday afternoon at 4:30 he wandered into the manager’s office, confused and distraught over not being able to find his wife. When the manager reminded him of his wife’s death 10 years ago, he became agitated, combative and threatened suicide.

  3. Case Review The apartment manager contacted Mr. Johnson’s daughter regarding her father’s confusion and suicidal comment. Her concern was that her father collects guns and had numerous weapons in his apartment. Due to the daughter residing out of state, the manager also contacted the Office on Aging for assistance. She was told to call Crisis Intervention due to the mental health concerns. On doing so the manager was told that he had dementia and could not be psychiatrically hospitalized.

  4. Case Review • Which professionals need to be involved for this individual to receive good care?
