Case study

Mr. Jones: The Fragile Adult

John is concerned about his neighbor Mr. Jones. He reports that he no longer sees Mr. Jones out in his yard. He knows that there is the son who comes in daily to check on Mr. Jones but for some reason, John feels something is not right. John admits that due to his concern he has tried to visit with Mr. Jones when the son is not there but is no longer asked to come into the house. This is very strange behavior according to John because he and Mr. Jones used to meet in the morning for coffee at a little restaurant in the neighborhood. Mr. Jones has not been at the restaurant for over two months. The last time John did see Mr. Jones, he thought he saw a bruise on his face.

John is here today in hopes that a Crisis Worker will make a home visit to see what is going on.
