Case Vignette

Andrew

Mrs K. is a 92 year old woman who had repeated visits to hospital due to a fall. She had lost many of her friends and family and was unable to handle living on her own. Her family was confused about what to do going forward but knew they wanted their loved one to be safe and to be able to live with dignity.

In addition to providing much-needed emotional and social support, Jennifer completed a comprehensive assessment and report. Based on her findings, Jennifer made a referral to a Geriatrician for further cognitive testing. The Geriatrician assessed Mrs. K’s medications, her mobility and her physical status. The findings were that Mrs. K. was suffering from depression and presented with balance, mobility and strength issues.

Jennifer coordinated a safe discharge home with private and community supports.

“I just wanted to thank you for all the great support you’ve given me and my stepmother. You helped me negotiate some very difficult territory in an area I have no knowledge of. Your experience and input have made the whole journey less stressful, and you have given me the sense of direction I was looking for. My stepmother is a great lady and it is nice to know at the age of 92 there are services like yours that are available to help her in her final years. You have worked extremely hard to make her life more comfortable and she is experiencing the ongoing benefit of that hard work. With much gratitude…”

Barry Brown, MSW, RSW

Ms. Aronson set in motion and executed a care plan that was impressive in its precision and sensitive implementation. That she maintained concerned contact with the client following admission to hospital—after her responsibilities were forwarded to others illustrates a caring not often found within our harried profession. I have interacted with Ms. Aronson on other files, I continue to be impressed by her acumen, her capacity to quickly and accurately assess circumstances—and her sincerity. She is a fount of knowledge regarding community resources and ‘the system’ in general, and her energy ensures that her clients will have access to all that is available to them.

Further, it is most apparent that Ms. Aronson is a team player as has been evidenced time and time again—as she appropriately has reached out to community resources on behalf of a client in need—the ensuing services illustrates the trust others have in her judgment. Ms. Aronson is indeed a trusted and valued colleague.

“I have known Jennifer Aronson as a Master of Social Work (MSW) for over 14 years. As an MSW myself having been in practice for 35 years, upon meeting Ms. Aronson professionally, I was more than impressed by her presentation-she was at once focused in analyzing the situation at hand—determining the available resources, while maintaining an omnipresent awareness of the unique task at hand, that being the well-being of our mutual, elderly and feeble client.”

Jennifer Aronson helped my elderly parents navigate the complex health system with ease. Her follow through was amazing. Her attention to detail and listening skills are outstanding. She met with them in their home and helped them with their communication skills with one another. She continues to check in with them on an ongoing basis. Both my parents were so thankful for her help and so am I! I would highly recommend using Jennifer!

Mum entered into her Lord and Saviour's Presence yesterday afternoon. I was with her, and had just spoken words from the Old Testament Book of Psalms: "Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of His saints ..." and "In Your Presence there is fullness of joy, at your right hand there are pleasures forevermore ..." and her heart stopped. Mum mentioned to me, recently, how very much she valued you, Jennifer. She spoke of your tenacity and vitality. Thank you for all your care. It means a great deal to me.

Hi Jennifer, It was nice to meet with you yesterday. It has been very difficult to get my Mother focused on a plan for her future and to convince my brother that it's time to do so. I appreciate your very professional approach and the opportunity for my brother and I to see matters more objectively. I feel much more secure knowing that in future we can turn to you for information, advice and options regarding my mother, to ensure she (and we) can make informed decisions.

Jennifer, your follow-through is impeccable, and your clients, who became residents at the retirement residence I worked for, were extremely satisfied with your work on their behalf. You are an extremely dedicated and compassionate social worker who always advocates and achieves maximum betterment for your clients. I always look forward to the opportunity to working together.

I am writing to tell you how much I appreciate your efforts over the past several weeks. I am very appreciative of TD Bank's foresight in hiring you to do this very difficult work. You have managed to create future possibilities for P, at a time when we were starting to give up hope. I know it will not be easy for P, but she is now moving ahead with support! You are the first person in years who has managed to get anything to happen for her at all. You have connected her to doctors and service people who can help P. to manage her life, and you have given her a home. My father's house was the only home she knew, and after his death that home really didn't exist for her at all. You have pulled her through that transition - at times using extreme measures, but I admired you for the forthright, and compassionate, approach you took when that was necessary.

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer for several years in an acute care facility, primarily assisting older adults. Her expertise in navigating what can be a very complex system, even for clinicians, has been recognized and appreciated by colleagues and clients/families alike. Her strong communication and advocacy skills are next to none, and she genuinely strives for the best care and plan for her clients. I highly recommend her services for anyone who is looking for assistance with elder care, a seamless transition, or plan for themselves or their loved ones.
