Dear Social Worker,

I am writing to refer Mrs. Amelia Johnson, a 72-year-old woman with severe rheumatoid arthritis, for community support services.

Mrs. Johnson experiences significant limitations in hand strength, which prevents her from cooking or cleaning independently. She lives alone without family support, leaving her vulnerable to social isolation and neglect.

I would appreciate your assessment of her eligibility for home assistance, meal delivery, and opportunities for social engagement. These services will greatly enhance her independence and quality of life.

I appreciate your support in managing this case.

Yours sincerely,
Occupational Therapist
