POLICY PERSON CENTRED CARE

1.1

It is The Company's policy that all residents should be cared for in a person centred way. This means
that the resident should be consulted on all aspects of their care and life. Residents should make their
own decisions wherever possible. Where residents are unable to make their own decisions then staff
should consult with all those involved with the resident and care should be planned with these details
in mind.

1.2

The underlying principle of Person-Centred Care is that the person with is respected as a fellow
human being who happens to have some special needs.
We accord an individual the status of a person when we acknowledge:






His/her unique make up as an individual.
His/her place in the human group.
His/her needs.
His/her value simply because he/she is a human being.
His/her rights.

To support this there are four key elements:





Personal worth - we must feel wanted by somebody.
Agency - we can have an effect on the world around us (we can make things happen,
and make choices)
Social Confidence - we can trust the people we are with.
Hope - we must always feel that things can be better.

1.3

Personhood and personal worth are elements of being that everyone would aspire to, regardless of
what disease labels they have attached to them. Plans of care should not focus on the problems
the resident has but on their abilities, strengths and wishes. They should also include plans to fulfill
residents' wishes concerning their social lives and their life goals. A resident's wishes and life goals may
be simple such as a desire to stay in their own room and not socialise or it may be more complicated such as
resolution of an estrangement with a relative.

1.4

Where a Care Home is unable to fulfill a resident's wishes with regard to their care then this should be
discussed with the resident and a compromise agreed if possible. An advocate may be required to
assist a resident and the staff to agree a plan of care. In some situations it may be that a resident will
require an alternative place of care and this should be dealt with sensitively by the staff.
2.0

RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1

Registered Manager is responsible for ensuring that all staff are aware of the importance of
person centered care. The Care Home Manager is responsible for organising training for all staff

2.2

Person in charge is responsible, in the absence of the Care Home Manager, for the operation of
this policy.

2.3

Team Leader is responsible for ensuring that this policy is implemented as necessary.
During their period of duty they should ensure that care for the resident is in such a way that it
supports the resident to make their own decisions and choices. Documentation should also display
evidence of person centered care.

2.4

All staff have a responsibility to familiarise themselves with this policy and, during their period of
duty, to be aware of residents right to make independent decisions about their life and encourage
them to do so.

3.0

PROCEDURE

3.1

On admission residents should be able to express their wishes with regards to the way they live their
life. A detailed history of the resident's life should be obtained where possible so that the staff can

7|P ag e

Mayflower Care Home

Reviewed 30.03.2017
know the person as they were as well as how they are now.

3.2

Care plans should be written in agreement with residents. Residents that are unable to express their
wishes should still be asked their wishes but the input of those who know the resident well should be
used as well to formulate care plans.

3.3

Documentation should reflect the input of the resident or others who know them well. For example
care plans should state the resident's wishes and choices.

3.4

When offering care to a resident on a daily basis staff must allow the resident to express their choice and
not be expected to comply with a routine. Some routines may be necessary such as meal times but
others are not required such as set bath days.

3.5

The staff should ensure that the environment is such that it enhances the resident's life and provide
stimulation. Large print books, artist materials etc can be used to allow the resident to express him or
herself.

3.6

Staff should be given time to communicate with the residents and be aware of how the residents
communicate.

3.7

Reviews of care plans should include the resident unless they do not wish to be involved.
Consideration should be given to residents' wishes and risk assessments must be written which will
enhance the residents' life and liberty.

3.8

There should be supervisory support for the staff and this should be regular. It should allow the
staff time to discuss situations that are of concern to them.

3.9

Where there is a conflict of the resident's wishes and their needs then this should be resolved by
talking to the resident, explaining the reason for the treatment or act of care and then allowing the
resident the choice of accepting or rejecting the act of care or treatment. If staff or others feel the
resident lacks capacity to make the decision then the Mental Capacity Policy Care-PR-74 should be
followed.

Where concerns are raised regarding the level of risk involved in a particular activity, the matter is discussed
and an agreed course of action determined, if appropriate staff involve the Resident and
Relatives in the discussions to ensure a proper balance between taking risks and ensuring the
