Isi artikel

Staff in a community care agency provide service to an elderly, but capable, woman in her home. This woman is cared for by her son, who the staff believes is neglectful. The home care staff believes that the neglectful son is not providing adequate support to his mother while at the same time enjoying many ?nancial bene?ts (e.g., rent and food) in this living arrangement. Further, the pair lives in a ‘‘rough’’ area of the city and staff has witnessed the son both purchasing from, and having loud arguments with, local drug dealers. The staff are concerned about their own and their client’s safety and feel distress in relation to the situation each time after they visit the home; yet within their organization there exists no tools for them to discuss or work through the ethical issues faced in this situation.
