Depending on a person’s medical and care needs, they may not be able to live at home without support. Having private care at home in the form of a personal carer can make a big difference in living safely and independently at home, especially when the alternative options may be residential care.
At Nayland Care, we encourage independence. Rather than taking over daily activities, we support people to make choices themselves. We are respectful of keeping to the routines that matter to our clients and proactively support them to play an active role in telling us what they would like to wear and eat etc… This is what person-centred private at home care is all about.
Personal care plans should encourage an individual to do as much as they are able to while tending to their overall wellbeing. Care should promote as much choice and flexibility as possible.
