Case Study: Family Member with Alzheimers Disease: Mark and Jacqueline 
  
Mark and Jacqueline have been married for   30 years. They have grown children who live in another 
 
state. Jacquelines mother has moved in   with the couple because she has Alzheimers disease.

 
Jacqueline is an only child and always   promised her mother that she would care for her in her old 

 
age. Her mother is unaware of her   surroundings and often calls out for her daughter Jackie when
 
Jacqueline is in the room. Jacqueline   reassures her mother that she is there to help, but to no avail. 
      
Jacqueline is unable to visit her children on holidays because she must attend to her mothers daily needs. She is reluctant to visit friends or even go out to a movie because of her mothers care needs or because she is too tired. Even though she has eliminated most leisure activities with Mark, Jacqueline goes to bed at night with many of her caregiving tasks unfinished. She tries to visit with her mother during the day, but her mother rejects any contact with her daughter. Planning for the upcoming holidays seems impossible to Mark, because of his wifes inability to focus on anything except her mothers care. 
Jacqueline has difficulty sleeping at night and is unable to discuss plans even a few days in advance. She is unable to visit friends and is reluctant to have friends visit because of the unpredictable behavior of her mother and her need to attend to the daily care. 
Reflective Questions 
1. How do you think this situation reflects Jacquelines sense of role performance? 
2. How do you think that Jacqueline may be contributing to her own health?
