Case study: Bill's story
Bill has mobility problems and felt like his memory was getting worse. He stopped going out and doing things for himself, spending his days at home watching TV.
The pharmacist referred him to a Social Prescribing Link Worker. During the conversation with the Link Worker, Bill said he’d like to do more and talked about his time in the army before being medically discharged.
The Link Worker introduced Bill to a veterans’ social group at a local community centre. Through this, he heard about a gardening group and joined that too.
The Link Worker supported Bill and his wife Lesley to apply for a Blue Badge, which has opened up new places for them as a couple without the worry of parking.
Bill says he feels more settled and is enjoying having his own thing to do. Lesley says that he is much happier and looks forward to going out.
