Ben previously lived with his mother, but following her death last year, Ben moved to the
residential setting.
Ben has always enjoyed going shopping, but since has moved into the residence, he prefers
to stay in his room which is a concern for the staff, following an incident with some loyal
youths who shouted at Ben when he went shopping with the residents and carers.
Recently Ben was refused entry to a local funfair by the manager who stated that Ben’s
appearance could prevent other people wanting to attend.
Ben is refusing to keep to the special diet required to control his type 2 diabetes and staff
have found bags of sweets under his pillow when making his bed. His blood glucose levels
are unstable, resulting in Ben feeling unwell. Ben has become withdrawn.
