being of people. The old age people many time feels depression and they get sad due to their

protection to the elderly clients in Fleet wood Hall Home care home.

more things. This will be the major concern problem where clients need to think. The old aged
people are very short tempered about every small matter like the way they are being treated or
any kind of discrimination is not at all accepted by old age people (Taggart and et.al.,2017).
There are many dilemmas which are faced by entire management while handling old age people.
To explain it an example has been given. Mrs Z is 60 years old lady and is a diabetes patient.
Mrs Z like to eat sweet dishes and if the same has not been provided than Mrs Z gets tempered.

health. So it is a major dilemma for care taker to give her sweets or not. There will be many type
of ethical dilemmas which the care giver will face time of taking care of elderly people in
Fleetwood Hall Home. Like there will be problem in giving medicine as older people are always
dependent upon care taker for their medicine. If there is any emergency case within Fleetwood
Hall Home and the care giver is to attend that particular patient then there will be dilemma for
either giving medication to one patient or to treat the other one. This discussion of ethics will be
focusing on role of autonomy and cost containment will be important part for the cost of
delivering health care incurred at end of the life.
