Budhi Dharma Bekasi Quick Responses for Total Dependency Elderly Case in South Tangerang
SOUTH
TANGERANG (21 May 2021) -
The Case Response Team from the Budhi Dharma Bekasi Elderly Center for the
Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia conducted outreach
activities for elderly people named Rodion Pandu Shidarta (71) in Rempoa, South
Tangerang.
The Budhi Dharma Bekasi Elderly Center sent a
case response team consisting of health and social welfare workers to provide
comprehensive services to the elderly as well as carry out assessments and
motivate the recovery of grandpa Oddy, that is his nickname.
This activity was carried out in response to reports
from the community and family that the elderly experienced difficulties in
carrying out their daily activities due to physical weakness and total
dependence resulting from a decrease in body function as an elderly person and
several diseases that were suffering from making his body function decrease.
Decreased function in the elderly is based on
the results of the assessment of Activity Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental
Activity Daily Living (iADL) conducted by officers to determine the extent to
which a person's physical and cognitive and mental functions can be measured by
how capable a person is to carry out daily activities from basic to advanced
level.
"Because of my economic limitations and
my brother and I also have to take care of my child with mental disabilities, I
feel unable to take care of my brother anymore, I hope my sister can get
comprehensive services at the Budhi Dharma Bekasi Elderly Center," said RK
Widyastuti is the younger sibling of the elderly.
At the request of the family, it is planned
that Grandpa Oddy will be picked up by a team from the Budhi Dharma Bekasi
Elderly Center on May 25, 2021, to get residential-based services.
