Leah Roberts Unit 4222-223 Support individuals to meet personal care needs 1.2 To establish the level and type of support an individual needs I would ask the individual how much help they need, what they are comfortable with and anything they may be worried about. I would read the risk assessment, as it would give me information on my client’s ability to participate and highlight any possible risks. I would promote independence, encouraging active participation so that they feel in control of the amount of support they receive.

Unit 305 Outcome 1) 1) Person centred values ensure that each individual resident receives adequate care based on their personal wants and needs. Person centred values make sure that the care is planned around a specific individual and that they are at the heart of every decision. Throughout a health and social care setting being able to demonstrate person centred care can involve professionals, families, the individual and carers. Aspects of daily care should involve person centred values because each resident is different and will need to be treated as an individual. 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.
I would ensure that the residents would be presentable in their appearance at all times. Additionally I would ensure that the service user have any aids that are required for examples, glasses, hearing aids, dentures and that these are kept cleaned and work. Another role that I would have within the care home would be to assist the service users in rehabilitation activities under guidance and supervision of the manager. I would also have the responsibility of assisting in the cleaning of the home when needed especially the dining areas after meals. I would also support infection control by cleaning up any spills immediately.
