Holistic assessment and planning is the key to developing personalised services. The holistic assessment process allows one to talk about a wide range of domains in a person’s life, establishing a deeper understanding of their needs and issues before developing a care plan. At Princess Alexandra when a resident comes into the home and the care staff are putting the resident’s care plan together they work with the resident to find out what they like and what their needs are and ways that the staff can meet their needs. It looks at the things a resident did at home and tries to incorporate these ways into everyday life now that they are in a care home. For example if a resident liked to have a bath every morning then it is up to the staff to try and incorporate this into the person’s daily care plan.

It will also involve making sure that I fill in all the necessary paperwork such as care plans and accident forms and follow the appropriate policies. They are not formal and it feels easy during these times to ask for advise and to be supported when learning new things within the care home.

The positive of this is that if there is anything I am unsure of I can speak in confidence and not feel embarrassed that I do not know how to do something in front of the care home clients and/or their families.
In a social work environment communication can be an essential tool in order to meet the needs of a vulnerable adult. It is a basic requirement in the social care role to communicate with the individuals you care for their families and also with other members of staff involved with their care on a daily basis.

Competency was frequently employed to determine staff skills against the requirements of a position. It was also used to support staff development, as a tool to facilitate individual performance review, and to identify the ongoing professional development needs of individual staff (Baker R., 2003). Each staff in the ward should have their own competencies on functional, team and organization effectiveness according to their different levels of position including Registered Nurse, Enrolled Nurse and all the supporting staff working in hospital. Since the competency of each level of staff is embracing or adding on to that below, being an APN, he or she should familiarize with each level’s core competency in order to lead and supervise them to ensure the high standard of care in the ward.
