Getting ready for life

At Care Plus Housing, we understand that developing daily living skills is crucial for our clients, particularly those with disabilities, learning difficulties, or mental health challenges. Our goal is to empower individuals to attain greater independence and autonomy in their daily lives. By providing quality support, we help our clients navigate everyday tasks, leading to a more fulfilling and confident life.

 

 

How We Help with Daily Living

We implement a range of strategies to assist our clients in mastering daily living skills, ensuring they feel capable and respected in their journey towards independence:

Promote Independence
 We use visual cues, checklists, and step-by-step prompts to guide clients in dressing, hygiene, and other routines. This structured support fosters confidence and self-sufficiency.
 

Respect Dignity and Choice
Our approach to personal care is rooted in sensitivity and respect. We ensure that our clients have the privacy they deserve while receiving support, allowing them to retain their dignity throughout the process.
 

Use Consistent Routines
 For clients with autism or cognitive impairments, we establish consistent routines. Familiarity creates a sense of security, helping them feel more comfortable and in control.

Celebrate Small Wins
We recognise and praise progress, no matter how small. Celebrating achievements, like brushing hair unaided, reinforces positive behaviours and motivates further improvement.

Adjust Support to the Client
Every individual is unique. Some clients may require full assistance, while others may only need reminders. We tailor our support to match each person's abilities and preferences, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
