Q1.Concept of health, disability, illness and behavior
Health as well as social care services is considered to be as significant aspects in lives of
people living in society. But with the passage of time, the perception of people regarding
the services provided by health and social care institution has changed. Earlier, an
individual used to visit health and social care institution until and unless there is an urgent
need. But with an increase in health awareness, people visit hospital for routine body
checkups and have an understanding about healthy lifestyle. As it has been identified
from the given case study that name as Parkinson’s disease, So he requires special care as
well as treatment that helps him in improving his health (Colosio and et. al., 2017).
Parkinson's disease has a negative impact on the quality of life. Several symptoms of this
disease might have an adverse influence on the behavior of an individual. It is required by
medical staff in an organization to develop the understanding about the needs of patient
suffering from such disease and gain knowledge about the symptoms of Parkinson's
disease. As this activity will assist medical professional in providing appropriate treatment

as well as suitable care to patients (Grasso, 2016)
Disability is the ineffectiveness of perform a physical, mental or social activity that causes a
person to lose the self-confidence and well-being. Mr. Pen has the disability regarding
visual impairment and hearing problems. Other than this, he also suffers from cardio
respiratory and digestive problems. This has affected his health, made him more ill and
deteriorated his behavior. The Parkinson disease has also disabled him to perform the
work more effectively. Thus, in this case, the care home has to effectively take the
measures to meet Mr. Pen’s requirements.
Illness is related to diseases which can impacts the well-being of person and his behavior to a
greater extent. The illness not only makes the person physically weak but also frustrate
him mentally. Thus Residential care home has to look after the proper handling of Mr. Pen
as a patient.
Behavior is the attitude and reaction of a person towards a condition or activity that occurs or
takes place in its surroundings. The behavior of Mr. Pen towards the care takers of care
home has been quite violent due to his prolonged illness, solitude and disability. His
anxious behavior is required to be monitored in order to maintain the health and well-
being.
Q2. Perceptions about specific needs have changed

by the individual. Thus, the organization will look after better handling of operations that will
help in better growth and development of the organization that will help in better rise in
compatibility of health and social care body. In the previous period, people used to be absurd
and unaware about the seriousness of Parkinson’s disease. But with the advancement of
technology and increase in knowledge, people and workers in the health care have gained a
good knowledge about the diseases and the issues related to it (Thompson, 2015). Thus, such
condition is required to be handling in a better way. This has helped the early detection of PD
in Mr. Simon and helped him to get a good medical treatment.
Also, the people have grown aware about the health concerns and thus, unlike to those in older
days, now take more care of their health and well-being. This will help in suitable rise in
compatibility of the health and medical care operations that support a good increase in
functional capability of the firm. Other than this, the development of a good perception will
support a good building of a better relationship that helps medical workers and employees for a
good rise in trust level and effectiveness of their operations that will help in suitable rise in
operational capability of an organization (Mirowsky, 2017). The early identification of the
