One of the more memorable encounters I had was with Madam Z, whose husband had sufered a stroke 10 years ago. She took on the role of his main caregiver but his condition was not improving.

She struggled to cope with his condition. đƫ I talked Madam Z through the alternative care providers available for her husband and the referral processes and she eventually chose to send him to a senior day care centre so that she could work full-time and support the family.
