Yeah, I personally prefer the term "Complex Needs" (more specific than "case" I guess). It could just be a matter of turning a negative into a positive. For example: "Martha doesn't take care of her hygiene" becomes "Martha would benefit from a motivational environment and occasional reminders around self care". Just a thought.
