Mary is a 64-year-old African American female who resides alone in her home. She has family members who live nearby, and they have increasingly become concerned with her forgetfulness and hygiene. Reportedly, she has not been bathing and has been calling other family members and neighbors stating that her family is
“trying to kick her out of the house.” She denies having any mental health issues but does report “getting down and feeling blue” at times. Mary is pleasant but is not able to recall the day, date, or year. She also reports that John F. Kennedy is the president of the United States. “He is a fine man,” she states.
Mary denies having any memory problems and says that she has a “mind like a steel trap.” Her children are concerned for her safety and are reaching out for help.
