The coordinator finds out that Lenny is a practising Buddhist and has enjoyed a long relationship with the Iocal Buschist ammunity The coordinator gives Lenny an outline of the aged care home's programs that are run throughout the week. She invites Lenny to join in as she can organise a worker to help Lenny to get to the vanous rooms where the activities/programs are held. A few of the programs centre on the chaplains programs. Lenny explains that he isn't interested in attending those activities and asks what activities are in place for Buddhists. The coordinator says Lenny is only one of three residents who follows a Buddhist faith and given the organisation was initiated by the church, they don't offer anything other than the programs that are currently run Lenny tells the coordinator that he would like his information to remain private The next day. Lenny is having lunch in the dining room when a personal care assistant asks him to come to the church program, explaining it isn't a religious service but more a discussion group. The worker then states that she knows Lenny isn't religious but she thinks he may enjoy the activity. Lenny feels embarrassed as others in the dining room overhear the conversation. He leaves the table and decides to have his evening meal in his room that night.

Answer 1

1. Yes, the services have a legal responsibility to develop an individualized plan for all the people because every individual is different from eachother and they have different thinking and method of living. It is not mandatory to include all the programs as individualized but some plans should be individualized according to the individual's wishes.

3. Yes there has been breach of duty towards leeny by the staff of that particular organisation as his wishes has been neglected and his confidentiality has been hampered. Also his wish has been neglected.

4. Leeny's human rights during these situation is that he can sue the staffs and the organisation for breaking his confidentiality rights and for forcing him into the act of other religious activities.

5. No, the staff has not supported Lenny's rights as they have not respected his cultural and religious preferences as well as his confidentiality has been avoided.

6. The strategies needed to be in place to guide the staff in relation to the cultural diversity issues are:

- the staff should be given proper training on how to accept the people from other religions.

- they should always be given a guideline booklet inorder to make them follow it as they keep doing their services.

7. The mechanisms that Lenny has in he aged care sector that are opened to him in regard to having his issues addressed is that he can go and complain about the staffs who has breached his care and his rights to the authorities.
