11 page 11 Blue Care Partnership of Massachusetts About | How BCP Can Help – Example Problem:56-year old man was diagnosed with lung cancer and congestive heart failure. He lived alone and was experiencing increased anxiety and depression. He had a friend that he relied on for transportation who was ill and no longer able to assist him with his care. Solution:His care coordinator assisted him with securing outpatient counseling to deal with the depression and anxiety. A Community Support worker assisted with coordinating transportation and requested a social work evaluation from the VNA to assist with long-term planning and coping. Additional resources were identified to assist with further transportation needs, compliance with medication, and keeping medical appointments. Results: After a history of multiple acute hospitalizations, he has remained in the community.
