Scenario
Frank
is a 57-year-old man, whose parents migrated from Jamaica before he was born.
He is Divorced and lives alone in a block of flats owned by county council in
London, Hackney. He has four children, three are in the military and he rarely
sees them. His Daughter lives 30 mins away. Frank lived in Spain for 20 years
but returned 2 years ago due to ill health.
Frank
smokes 20-30 cigarettes a day, with his first cigarette being on waking. He
used to smoke more heavily but has recently cut down. He was diagnosed with
schizophrenia four years ago; he is also type 2 diabetic and suffers from
depression. He has recently been discharged from hospital following a relapse.
Frank
is in receipt of universal credit, though there have been delays with receiving
his payment. This has caused delays in paying rent and bills, such as gas and
electric. He has been visiting local foodbanks but has recently found himself
getting paranoid and thus not able to leave the house as much as he would like.
He does enjoy socialising and likes a couple of pints in the evening with his
friends at the local pub. He has been feeling depressed due to lack of
employment and ongoing issues with mould in his flat.
