Gracie, 82 years of age, lives at Coco Beach Respite Service. At a recent client meeting, she complains to you that a number of her laundry items are coming back unironed. When you clarify Gracie concerns, you discover that she would like her underwear, singlets, nighties and socks to be ironed. To resolve the issue, you offer to raise the matter for discussion at the next monthly service meeting to find out if other residents have concerns about their laundry or ironing services. You reassure Dorothy that her confidentiality will be protected and Dorothy agrees to her concern being discussed at the meeting. At the meeting, the residents appear to feel comfortable sharing their views and ironing preferences in the open forum. Some of the staff also open up about the stress they feel having to make individual judgement calls on what items of laundry to iron, and having to remember how certain residents like their items to be ironed.
