Case Study
Harry is a 68-year-old man who lives alone in a suburb in the Central Coast Local Health
District. His wife of 49 years died five years ago. He has five children, four of whom are
married with children and live some distance away from him. Harry has one son who is
single and has never married. He lives in the same locality as Harry and visits him at least
weekly, during football season they watch the game together. Harry shops at his local
Woolworths where he purchases frozen ready to cook meals as he finds that fresh
produce spoils in his fridge. Harry takes pride in his rose garden and ensures his lawn is
always well manicured.
Harry was diagnosed with a chronic condition some time ago. Although he has struggled at
times to cope with this condition until recently he has managed to maintain a full and active
life. Recently Harry has stopped going to the Bowling Club and attending the Men’s Shed
of which he is a foundation member. When asked Harry feels that his health can no longer
manage these trips. Harry’s children have developed a belief that Harry has become a
hypochondriac over the last four year and attributed this to him being lonely since the
passing of his wife.
