Case Study Scenario: Bruno and Francis Brunetti
Bruno and Francis Brunetti are an elderly couple (both 82 years old) living independently in
their own home. They were both born in Italy and have a strong connection with Italian-
speaking friends and family. They speak English adequately. The Brunettis only had one
daughter, Sophia. Sophia is married and lives in Italy with three children.
Bruno and Francis are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with house and yard duties.
Bruno lost his driving licence (and Francis has never learnt to drive). Since then they have not
attended their Catholic Church or social activities. Francis and Bruno rely on friends to take
them to the grocery shops once or twice a week.
Sophia has been ringing her parents and supporting them as much as she can but ended up
calling their local General Practitioner (GP) because they were both becoming increasingly
depressed and isolated.
A full medical examination was conducted on both, and it was found that Francis has
Alzheimer’s disease and Bruno is feeling burdened and has become increasingly agitated and
frustrated. They both find it increasingly difficult to find the energy and drive to keep up with
the same level of activity they had previously.
Bruno has been in a sexual relationship with a widow from the church for the past three
years, but it has been clandestine due to their religious faith. She often comes around to
keep Bruno company. Francis thinks that Janet is just a close friend.
You are the Support Worker and you need to identify and assess their holistic needs and
goals for independence and wellbeing.
