Unit SHC36 Promote person centred approaches in health and social care 2.2 How do you use care plans when applying person centred values A person and their needs should be at the centre of the support process. A carers role is to make sure that a person has every opportunity to state how they wish their needs to be met. This is especially important when the issues regarding the person are difficult or of a sensitive nature. Person centred working is about putting people in control of their lives, whether it be a new service user or a person who has been “stuck in the system” for many years. 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.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory of motivation and personality developed by the psychologist Abraham H. Maslow (1908-1970). Maslow's hierarchy explains human behavior in terms of basic requirements for survival and growth. These requirements, or needs, are arranged according to their importance for survival and their power to motivate the individual. The most basic physical requirements, such as food, water, or oxygen, constitute the lowest level of the need hierarchy. These needs must be satisfied before other, higher needs become important to individuals.
UNIT 4 VICTORIA WESSELS ID: 1094182 1.1 EXPLAIN WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE A DUTY OF CARE IN OWN WORK ROLE. Duty of care is a legal obligation to all health care providers to be constantly aware of the wellbeing of service users, colleagues and others and to take reasonable steps to ensure that no one comes to harm as a result of action or inaction. This applies to all people the carer comes into contact with, especially, children, young people and elderly service users because they may not be able to meet their own needs and cannot simply spot potential dangers. In my role as a care worker, I owe a duty of care to support and act in the best interest of service users, colleagues and even I, to ensure my work role is carried out safely and effectively taking into consideration the care home’s policies and procedures. It also my duty of care to provide high quality care to the best of my ability, if not, to inform my employer the reason why I am unable to do so and when acting on behalf of a service user, I am to seek he or her consent unless I have evidence to prove that he or she lacks the mental capacity to make that particular decision at the time it needs to be made.
How can people be enabled to make the most of their lives? According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Maslow, 1970) a person’s basic needs must first be met before each higher-order need can be achieved. A person must first have their physiological needs met – be well fed, have water and sleep – before ascending through safety, social, self-esteem finally reaching self-actualisation. So a person needs security, a sense of belonging, friendship and love, respect and confidence to finally achieve growth and development. Ultimately, care services should be person-centred and keep the individual at the heart of all matters involving their care package.

Unit 4222-207 Implement person centred approaches in health and social care (HSC 026) Understand person approaches for care and support 1.1 Define people-centred values. People centred values are about providing care and support that are focused on the individual and their needs. Reading an individual’s care plan gives you a clear understanding about individuals you are working with helps you to promote and provide person centred care and support. Some of which are individualality, independence, privacy, partnership, choice, dignity, respect and rights. 1.2 Explain why it is important to work in a way that embeds person centred values.
We can make individual plans and requirements to suit the specific needs of an individual. The better the care plan the easier it becomes for us to assist a client in their own way without getting into a mess from not understanding the care plans. 2.1 Work with an individual and others to find out the person’s history, preferences, wishes and needs: Depending if the individual can communicate we can ask them, or their family if they have family, if they have no family and cannot communicate we have best interest meetings to discuss the care that an individual may need. Care plans also have all the information that we need about a person’s history and preferences. 2.2 Demonstrate ways to put person centered values into practice in complex or sensitive situations: Maybe just sitting and spending time with individuals on a 1:1 basis Intensive interaction with individuals 2.3 Adapt actions and approaches in response to an individual’s changing needs or preferences; By reviewing care plans on a regular basis 3.1 Analyze factors that influence the capacity of an individual to express consent: Dementia, understanding, not being able to
Introduction to Personal Development in Health, social care or Children's and Young People’s Settings 1.1: Describe the duties and responsibilities of own role. The role I possess of a care assistant is to care for vulnerable elderly people. There are many ways and means for caring for the elderly whether it would be to assist the service user with personal care or whether the service user is just more vulnerable than other’s. The responsibilities are to keep the service users from harm and to assist in a way the service user to match their needs that does not affect their wellbeing. Sometimes it is necessary to make or help guide decisions for some service users as they may not have the mental capacity to do so, so therefore we make some decisions that may affect their life, whether it is medication or making decisions about what food choice they have.
it is also vital for me to communicate to client to inform them that I am here to support them in their care needs. People communicate to expressing and sharing ideas, feelings, needs, wishes and preferences obtaining and receiving information getting to know each other. There are several different reasons why people communicate. On a more extreme level, one person may wish to talk to another because they feel lonely or neglected, and need reassurance. However, more usually a person wants to communicate to another to ask for something, for example, they might want a drink or some food, or need help with a task.
