As a carer I demonstrate person centred values by relating to what each resident would like, what care they need, what assistance they will accept and treating each resident as a separate person but at the same time treating everyone equally. 2) A care plan is very personal to each individual as it sets out the guidelines of what care they need and receive. Carers should be able to read a care plan and understand what assistance is expected, involving a wide range of different needs. By focusing a care plan on each individual it becomes ‘person centred’, this ensures that every patient is receiving the benefits of support and assistance from carers. At St Nicholas House we review care plans at the end of each month with each resident, this ensures that any changes or issues are addressed as soon as possible.

Most places will have a format (usually a care plan) for identifying needs such as: * What they are able to do independently * Personal Care * Nutritional Needs * Daily Life * Choice and Control * Risks * Medications * Work, leisure and learning * Physical and mental health It is important that everything is included in the care plan. The person is the central aspect of the care plan and regardless of their state of mind, their dignity, integrity and most importantly, their individuality must be respected. If you look at a care plan as “input” and “outcomes”. THe use of a care plan does not structure itself around the service it provides but what is achieved by people receiving the service. 3.3 Explain the steps you would take if you could not gain consent from a person you support when undertaking an activity Consent can happen or be obtained in many different ways, whether it be informed consent (ensuring the client is informed of the task they are about to undertake), implied consent (a client may imply their consent by for example presenting their arm ready for a blood test or to take their blood pressure), written or verbal consent.
1.1 Legislation and agreed ways of working ensure that individuals receiving end of life care are treated with the upmost dignity and that there last days on earth are made as comfortable as possible. In a residential care home most of our residents are entering their last home on earth and it is important to ensure there last days are fulfilled. Legislation ensures that the individual’s rights are protected when they might not have the capacity or strength to fight for them themselves. This may mean protecting their assets, ensuring that their wishes for how there death is handled are met and that they receive the care and support that they deserve. At Hafan-Y-Waun our end of life policy is developed in line with our mission statement to meet the changing needs of the people in our care.
This is based around each individual and their careplan so the care i give is individual to them. I assist with personal hygiene, toileting and administer medication. As much as i enjoy assisting clients i always encourage them to be as independent as possible by letting them plan their day and making own choices. Also providing the clients with a welcoming and friendly environment will make all the difference to the person settling in. This provides stability for them and a sense of belonging.

LEAD PERSON CENTRED PRACTICE QCF LEVEL 5 The concept of ‘person-centred’ care involves improving the experience of care and the belief that individuals should have more choice and control over the type of care received. This idea specifically focuses on key issues such as, listening to what people who use services have to say and treating them with respect. In delivering person centred care we communicate honestly, relating to each person as individual acknowledging different parts of their identity and focusing on what people can do, rather than what they cannot. This personalised approach to care assumes that people can take decisions about how their needs can best be met, provided that they have the relevant information and support required to do so. It also requires that service providers and practitioners understand the situation of the service user in offering flexible and responsive services.
By being honest and trustworthy, talking with the service users in respectful open way, never talk about other services users in clients homes, all service user's have the right to confidentiality and a service user will think, if you can talk about them in front of me, what are they saying about me. Always keep the service user informed of changes to their call rota sheets so they know who will be calling and at what time, it can take along time to gain someone's trust and confidence, something that might seem trivial to you can mean a lot to
You could then try to incorporate this into a care plan which involves carrying out and getting involved in these interests at the centre. 1.2) Person centred values include: Individuality Rights Choice Privacy Independence Dignity Respect Partnership As a care worker you need to keep these values in mind while carrying out your job. Respect their individuality and fit yourself into their way of thinking. For example when you first see the service users in the morning, ask them what they did the previous night and what they would like to do today. They have the right to make independent choices and you should help them in doing this.
Another role of the support worker is to keep the communication going within the care sector. The role of the residential home manager is to fulfil the role of a registered manager with a twenty four hour responsibility for managing all areas and services of the project.

They make sure that everyone who works for their organisation provides help and support to their clients in a person centred approach. It is their responsibility that roles are followed to the contract.
