Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to requesting aged care assistance for Mr. O’Keefe, an 83- year-old man who is recoevring from a
malignant melanoma in his left shoulder.
Mr. O’Keefe was admitted to the Mater Public Hospital on the 14th of March and underwent surgery. Since his
discharge from the hospital, we have been doing daily home visits and wound dressing and also assisting him
with his showers. On observation today, Mr. O’Keefe’s general condition had improved. His wound is healing
and is free from complications.
Mr. O’Keefe, who lives with his wife in a housing commission home, is an aged care pensioner. They are
getting some help from their neighbours, but they are having trouble keeping up with routine household work.
As per the doctor’s order, we have organized daily home visits until 24 March 2008 after which our nursing
care will end. Therefore, it would be greatly appreciated if you could do a home visit and assess their needs
and to arrange further assistance for this family.
Thank you for agreeing to assist in this matter. For further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Charge Nurse
