[ Summary ] The number of older dialysis patients living alone is increasing. One patient had multiple diseases, and, due to reduction in ADL and onset of dementia, living alone became difficult. Because the ADL of the older dialysis patient living alone decreased in this example, and life became difficult, it is an example that I open with in many job conferences;the patient ultimately rebuilt a new life. As for the patient whose ADL decreased, withdrawal was advised by the care manager, and a story of the moving advanced. The nurse knew that a patient could not understand moving and made many types of job conference. I analyzed a patient based on the situation of each employment situation and showed the best method. The person understood about family, and that led to moving. I confirmed what the nurse wanted to do at an early stage in the patient's condition and supported it to make it possible to determine how to spend that time based on what the patient expected in cooperation with the concerned person.
