HMS Letter 29 Sept 2015
Dear Mrs HARRISON,
Date of Birth: 5 Jul 1936, NHS No: 610 707 9319
It was a pleasure to meet with you together with your husband on the 17/08/15.
Presenting Situation and Care Plan
Medication Donepezil 5mg no side effects reported
Blood pressure sitting 125/77 pulse 77
Herebrookes memory test score 23/30 loosing hmm points with attention, memory and visuospatial.
NPI 1/144 your score was one as you have had a slight weight loss. Mood remains stable as on Mirtazapine.
Activities of daily living 23/60 You have a carer as your poor mobility and physical restrictions limit you with everyday tasks. Your husband explained that he prepares all your meals and runs the household; he is your main care support.
We discussed the importance of carer breaks for which your husband has already sorted out. The situation was far from being sorted out and it has worsened.
We discussed social activities and you had great joy in talking to us about your recent holiday, you have dismissed the memory cafe and singing for the brain as you no longer attend. We have never attended Singing for the Brain and do not dismiss it - all in good time.. We may attend the local memory cafe if it proves to be satisfactory
