Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a theory which underpins health and social care practice. Conferring to ("Assignment On Principles of Health & Social Care Practice”) Maslow’s theory is centered around human needs, which are classified in levels according to individual’s basic needs. The theory suggests that without fulfilling the bottom level an individual cannot move to the next level. The next level are the Physiological or physical sections. These needs are considered the most important needs in the theory. Safety and security, love and belongingness, self-esteem and self-actualization is in the next level. In making a care plan for a service…
Care is constantly changing and service users need to understand that they can freely express their views, so far as they are able to do so and that they should be involved in making decisions about their care, treatment and support. Our home promotes privacy and independence and clients are aware of this through one to one sessions with their key workers and leaflets explaining what privacy, dignity and independence are.…
The focus of the community as a client occurs when nurses are in the forefront of direct care in the private homes of patients, not limiting to only hospital-based care. Nurses collaborate to improve patient health by focusing care on a specific community population. Direct care is given to patients who share common illness prevalent to their specific community. Partnerships are shared to improve the overall quality of health within the community and are determined through assessing common problems and behaviors (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012).…
Not always having the final say in a social work position can be challenging when we see how implementation is carried out by caregivers on a first hand basis. The study by Wilber and Mosqueda was important in realizing that although many facilities were on board with the idea of person centered care, there were ultimately setbacks within each agency itself. I have seen this in my work at Meadowlark as we work towards a cohesive work environment with each caregiver and staff member providing the same level of care. Sometimes, both internal and external forces can make the managerial side of healthcare difficult as Meadowlark sets standards and moves towards new strategies and models of care. It’s important to keep in mind where we can improve as a healthcare facility, knowing that we are continuing to stay involved in the research pertaining to our residents and their care.…
Person centred care has been designed and developed over several decades as the Department of Health has worked hard to change the ideas of how care should be delivered in the UK. In past years care was delivered in a way that concentrated on the problems and disabilities of individuals and worked at ways of dealing with this. This created a culture of dependency as health professionals struggled to meet the growing needs of their service users. Person centred care moved away from a ‘one size fits all approach that had previously been used and instead worked at developing a package of care and support that firmly put the service user at the centre of every decision made.…

“The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a model of care that puts patients at the forefront of care by building better relationships between people and their clinical care teams” (Bitton, 2010). This patient care model has received considerable attention as a potential way to improve quality care. Ongoing research on PCMH demonstrates that it has the capacity to change care by how it has improved quality, the patient experience and staff satisfaction, while reducing health care costs (Jackson, 2013).…
One of the essential aspects of planning care services is to have a holistic approach to planning and provision. This means recognising that all parts of person life will have an impact on their care needs and that you need to look beyond what you see when you meet them for the first time. The idea of person centred planning comes from the valuing people 2001 white paper. It contains some broad principles that are of relevance to work with all people. Key principles of person centred planning assessment art that.…
There has always been an association between health and social class and, despite the welfare state and the “improvement” in health in all societies over the years, this difference is still here. It applies to all aspects of health, including expectation of life, infant and maternal mortality and general level of health. A report on England from the Office for National Statistics shows that despite 67 years of the NHS, there are still big differences in all aspects of health throughout the social classes. Women continue to live longer than men but the gap is closing.The situation, however, is complicated by the inequality between local areas which has increased over the period of two decades.…
When we are planning a care plan it should reflect the needs and wishes of the client keeping and maintaining their independence and maintain their rights and choices remembering that their needs and wishes change from time to time. Never make assumptions about a person, find out their likes and dislikes. Each person is entitled to make their own choice to have their say and a right to respect and dignity.…
The policy of person-centred care has become a mainstay of efforts to reform health care in the UK. Government policy is now built around this core concept, a major aspect of which is enabling individuals to participate in decision-making about their care at every level. By concentrating on the individual’s wishes and aspirations and placing them at the centre of a ‘planning circle’ the care team can assist with goal setting to ensure their best interests are maintained and the individual’s preferences are considered.…
