1. Review current theoretical approaches to group living provision for adults
Over the year’s different theoretical approaches to group living provisions for adults have changed the way in which we offer our care services and living provisions. Person centred planning has had major impacts and affected group living in many ways, Eric Erikson developed a theory that divides an individual’s life into eight stages that extend from birth to death (unlike many developmental theories that only cover childhood). Erikson (1902-94)
This means that when reviewing and updating the need of a service user you would not only look at their physical needs you would also review social and cognitive development. Erikson created the eight stages of developments from birth to death using this he considered basic conflicts of a service user of each stage.
This table of development can be used to identify a service user’s potential conflicts which are relevant to the particular stage of development that they are at. For example when I support the service users I work with I take a holistic approach, I take into consideration developmental needs along with physical needs. I think the positives of this approach are that you meet service users specific needs whilst taking into account age related conflicts and we are also eliminating the unneeded grouping of service users i.e. Group Living.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is another important theory when considering group living provisions for adults as this outlines the stages that are required to carry out personalisation through person centred planning whether it be through goals, risk assessments, support planning or key working sessions. His theory suggests to us that “individuals needs must first be met at a basic level, and then must be satisfied at each level before moving onto the next” Maslow (1908-70) Maslow also draws our attention to the fact that through times of
