Watch the video below to learn how Winona and her daughter use the Check-Up Assessment to address Winona's current health concerns.
VIDEO SUMMARY
Winona is a 72-year-old woman living with Parkinson’s disease who lives alone in her two storey home.
Winona has difficulty walking around her home and had falls that led to a hospital admission and an emergency department visit.
Winona’s daughter, Pat, who does not live close by, is concerned about her mother’s wellbeing. She decides to complete the Check-Up Assessment with Winona over the phone.
The Check-Up identified areas where Winona’s health and wellbeing may be at risk. She shared her health summary with her family healthcare provider who suggested care options including a referral to a geriatrician, physiotherapy, and home care services.
