Recently, it was noted by a family member that Allan was not answering his telephone. They requested a police wellness check. When the police arrived at the home, they found Allan to be in a confused and lethargic state. There was no evidence of food or self-care for what may have been up to a week. He appeared to be physically fragile. Allan was transported to the local rural hospital, treated with rehydration overnight and was eating well the next day. As there were no facilities available for long stay, he was sent home with a Blue Care referral. He also agreed to a home visit from your organisation, Recovery Unlimited, for an assessment and discussion on help available to him.
