Promote Active Support
Hotel model: governmental/ institutional style environments, focused on the employee’s needs, not person-centered and gives the individual or group of people poor quality of life and no empathy is shown in this type of action the individuals needs and wishes are not thought of. For example; a support worker makes an individuals bed every morning and washes their clothes for them and folds and puts them away when the individual is perfectly capable to do these everyday life tasks, the service user would be getting deskilled as they could be doing all this for themselves. Active support: an approach that can improve an individual’s quality of life by enabling them to participate and be involved as much as possible for them in everyday life tasks and activities at home and in the community. It is a person centered model showing how to interact with individuals working with them being holistic and getting them involved. For example: at Meols drive we use a weekly activity planning tool which promotes participation and enhances people’s lives in many ways as they feel involved, have choice to what is important to them and helps them live the life they choose. This plan involves me having 1-1 meetings with our service users weekly and planning their week ahead including them with 25 hours of meaningful activity a week, I ask them what they would like to do set individual achievable goals for the week and devise a simple planner with pictures and pec’s boards were appropriate this encourages and enables them to live the life they choose. The hotel model is when support staff do a lot for people and they become observers in their own lives. Active support is a way of enabling people to engage and participate in their own support. Promote individuals independence making environments easy to maintain and comfortable. Support informed choices putting in place communication boards showing information in a way that is understood by the individual...
