    In order to gain Mary's trust and reliability, as a manager of the care home I have to advice Mary's social worker to offer her the affection and support she has never received, in the care home. In order to effectively inform the social worker about the details of Mary's situation- a very thorough verbal discussion will have to take place. This also involves a group conversation with the social worker and Mary, who can assist her point of views- as well as her troubles being expressed. This way, we would be able to understand Mary's personal perspective as well as being able to find the solution to gain her trust in the care home. On the other hand, Mary's slurred speech and hearing impairment may be an issue to deal with in terms of maintaining a conversation, however there are many ways to effectively overcome these struggles and help her enrich trustworthiness in the care home. It is important to create a line of communication between myself, the social worker and the patient so that we can already build a stable relationship that has been gained through communication, involving the exchange of intentions and thoughts which ensues the gaining of sympathy and mutual understanding. The aim of this interaction is to give Mary the love and care she has not received in her abusive home, as…
