Helping vulnerable person who is very reluctant to accept any service at risk of eviction to access Hoarding and Squalor Program

Following my care finder presentation to DCJ Housing in Bankstown I received a referral for a vulnerable person who experiences paranoid delusions and is very reluctant to accept services, also has no phone and does not open the door except to a small selection of people. Through the freedom of the CF program , I was able to go with the DCJ specialist to meet with the client and introduce her to the Care Finder Program . After a few weeks of weekly visits and building a rapport with her, she then consented to my contacting MAC to request an assessment . With further liaising between myself and MAC an on site RAS Ax was provided and client agreed to receive ACH Hoarding and Squalor Clean which will assist in sustaining her public housing tenancy , she also agreed to an Occupational Therapy Ax to request bathroom mods as she currently needs to step into the bath to shower, she was not willing to accept any other services at this time. I will continue to work with this client to assist her through the H&S clean and to access O.T. I will also continue to encourage her to accept further aged care services such as Social Support and possibly mental health services .
