Understand person-centred approaches in adult social care settings.
Outcome 1
Understand person-centred approaches in adult social care
1. Describe person-centred approaches.
Person-centred is about providing care and support that is centred or focused on the individual and their needs. We are all individuals and just because two people might have the same medical condition, for example, dementia, it doesn’t mean that they require the same care or support because they are two different people which means their needs will be different. You need to develop a clear understanding about the individuals that you are working with and their needs, culture, means of communication, likes and dislikes, family and other professional’s involved with them. This means that you can then provide person centred care and support. There are eight person-centred values that support person-centred care and support, these are:
Individuality
Privacy
Choice
Dignity
Respect
Rights
Partnership
2. Explain why person-centred values must influence all aspects of social care work.
We work in a way as to embed person centred values because we have to promote individuality, so that the service user can make informed choices and decisions to understand that the choices and decisions they make have consequences which may just as easily have risk as well as having a positive outcome to their own health and wellbeing. By empowering individuals to maintain their own independence, we work to the policies and procedures of not only our organization but the social care sector. Everyone has the right to privacy which allows self-respect and dignity, keeping to the cultural, diversity, equality and values of the individual. It is important that we apply person centred values in all aspect of the work that we do, because this is the basic of the work we do, building everything we do around the person we are caring for. This is not just consulting people, it is also about people taking control of
