When considering residential care for yourself or a loved one, one of the biggest concerns often revolves around maintaining individuality. Will a person’s unique preferences, routines, and life story be understood and respected, or will they simply become another face in a crowd?
At BroadLands Residential Care Home Ltd, we wholeheartedly believe that exceptional care begins with understanding – truly understanding – the individual. That’s why the cornerstone of our philosophy and our service is our Personalised Care Plans.
More Than a Checklist: It’s Your Life Story
A personalised care plan at BroadLands is far more than a generic checklist of needs. It’s a living, breathing document that captures the essence of who you are. It’s a detailed blueprint for your care and well-being, meticulously crafted to reflect your unique history, preferences, and aspirations.
What goes into your Personalised Care Plan?
- Medical & Physical Needs: A comprehensive overview of your health conditions, medication schedules, dietary requirements, mobility assistance, and any specific physical support needed.
- Personal Preferences & Routines: Do you like to wake up early or sleep in? Are you a morning shower person or an evening bath enthusiast? Do you prefer quiet reading or lively conversation? We want to know your customary routines and preferences.
- Interests, Hobbies & Social Life: What brings you joy? Do you love gardening, playing cards, listening to classical music, or discussing current affairs? We incorporate your passions to ensure your days are filled with meaningful activities and opportunities for social engagement.
- Emotional & Spiritual Well-being: We consider your emotional support needs, your preferred ways of coping with stress, and any spiritual or religious practices that are important to you.
- Life History & Values: Understanding your background, significant life events, and personal values helps us to connect with you on a deeper level and provide care that aligns with your identity.
The Collaborative Process: You Are at the Heart
Creating your personalised care plan is a collaborative journey. It starts with a comprehensive initial assessment where we – and crucially, you and your family – discuss all aspects of your life. We listen attentively, ask questions, and gather insights to build a picture of your needs, desires, and personality.
This plan isn’t drawn up for you, but with you. Your input, and that of your loved ones, is invaluable. It ensures that the care provided truly reflects your wishes and empowers you to maintain as much control and independence as possible.
Furthermore, it’s not a static document. Life changes, and so do needs and preferences. Your personalised care plan is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure it remains accurate and relevant, adapting as your circumstances evolve.
