The healthcare sector is a huge network, we all work together to ensure the quality of care and package of care is completed to the highest standards, there are so many different roles within health care but our paths always cross at some point within work.

I'm fortunate enough to have a great friendship and work support within many areas of healthcare.

Working together for the purpose of an individual to ensure all aspects of their care are met to a professional standard and their quality of care is person centred at all times. 🀍

MS may be invisible to others, but the symptoms are real and lived every day. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

Understanding dementia/ Alzheimer's for families, friends and loved ones of those with dementia. It's not easy, in fact it can be incredibly stressful and soul destroying prior and after a diagnosis. Some family members may be in denial for sometime as you don't want to believe this is happening, this can start affecting your own health and well being, it's important to always gather as much information and support as you can for yourself too, to understand.

Here's a little advice I've learnt to do over the years 🫢🏼

Every time you enter the room announce yourself. β€œHi Robert- it’s (name).”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.
1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.
2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.
3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.
4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.
5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.
6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.
7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.
8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.
9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.
10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.
11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.
12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.
13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.
14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.
15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.
16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.
17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favourite music playing within earshot.
18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.
19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.
20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.
21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”

In honour of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.

Upcoming changes πŸ’¬

In the next coming weeks, all clients/POA will receive an email/ message regarding bank holidays going forward.

Care costs have always been the same for working bank holidays but as a small running business & myself working every bank holiday I believe I need to make a small change in this.

An email/ letter will go out confirming the changes in due course.

I often get asked why I have to ask specific questions when completing a care plan, why do I need to know certain answers.

Well today is a prime example as I was complimented by paramedics and a first responder when they urgently had to find out important information.

Each care plan includes

⭐ Daily records to monitor moods, daily behaviour, tasks completed each visit & how the client is on each visit

⭐ Food and fluid charts to monitor the intake on each day at each visit with a total fluid input total

⭐ MAR, a MAR chart is to document and sign prescribed medications administered/ prompted at each visit

⭐ Body maps to document any new, on going or worsening bruises, cuts, marks etc

⭐ Care plan documentation which includes all personal information from name, address, DOB, allergies, medical conditions, power of attorneys, do not resuscitate documentation, risk assessments which are monitored and updated regularly, next of kin details, GP surgery and any other medical professionals involved in the person's care & so much more that can help to improve the quality of care for the specific person.

⭐ Stool charts to monitor and check any changes

Because each one of my clients have all of the above, in an emergency situation that is the go to for medical professionals if they do not know that person's medical or next of kin details. They where able to go back on all of the above to see what has been happening.

I believe - if it's not documented, it never happened & having personalised care plans is so important to have within my work place.

I am very grateful to have been recognised for my work by other health care professionals & I will carry on doing my best to improve the quality of my work and my clients care.

So this is why I ask so many questions as it's all about the quality of care I can provide to your loved ones πŸ’Ÿ
