INTRODUCTIONThe heath and social care in UK refers to services provided by health and social careproviders to the needed persons. As a discipline, the term involves different components likebiology, sociology and various other ethical practices. Present report is based on a case study thatis based on a 92 year old woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The lady is very weak andwants to live in her own home. The study will be carried out in this report regarding variousreasons due to which a particular person harm themselves and others (Sheldon, 2011). Besidesthis, its social ad cultural impact have also been emphasised in present report. Apart from this,various acts and working practices that are enacted for such people have been focused so thatimprovement can be advised in this regard. TASK 11.1The case mentioned here, discussed about 'Bella', a 92 year old lady who is sufferingfrom Alzheimer's. The case shows that she has injured her arm, shoulder and have fractured herhip and collar bone too. In such cases, it is very much evident that patients use to cause harm tothemselves. They use to do this when they are not able to handle their inner stress level. Thisharm not only includes the physical hurt but also involve intake of alcohol, drugs and smokewhich shows the harm in long run. When the case becomes more complicated, this situation mayalso lead a patient to commit suicide (Currie and Lockett, 2011). This kind of vulnerability ismore apparent in case of adults or old age persons who are aged and are in need of extra care.The groups that are vulnerable to abuse may be categorised in two parts which are vulnerableindividuals and vulnerable individuals. In case of Bella, she can be taken under vulnerableindividuals. This group contains children and old age group people who are placed at hospitalsand at any assemblage centre as they are suffering from any kind of disease or disability. Bella isalso a vulnerable adult who needs special care as she is not able to take care of herself. This kindof adults suffer from mental and physical illness hence they are in need of special care andattention (Glasby and Dickinson, 2014). Major causes due to which adults are more vulnerable toabuse are enlisted below:When the persons feel detached or separated from family, friends or their social groups. When anyone is feeling that they are not being cared properly. 1
