Objective C - Approaches to care recognise peoples' strengths and skills

Activities

• Embedding a strengths-based approach to all social care assessments to make the most of people’s own assets.
• Regularly reviewing peoples care needs and continued work with providers to ensure that individual strengths and abilities are fully recognised in the care review process.
• Offering reablement for people leaving hospital through our Homefirst service, with as many people as possible regaining their skills and becoming independent.
• Offering step up reablement to people who are in the community and perhaps already receive a home care package but may benefit from a brief period of reablement to help increase their independence.
• Promoting an enablement approach across our contracted Home Care and Extra Care services.
• Piloting an outcome-based home care approach, which aims to move away from “time and task” oriented approaches, to deliver meaningful outcomes to people building on their own strengths and capabilities.
