Your choices guide the support
We ask how you prefer care to be provided, including the language you use, your usual routine, cultural or faith considerations, privacy preferences, preferred level of prompting and who may be involved in discussions. Staff should explain what they are doing, seek consent and avoid rushing or taking over tasks the person can still do.
Safe planning before the first visit
An assessment considers the home environment, mobility, equipment, continence, skin, communication, medication, nutrition, risks and professional guidance. Where equipment, two-person assistance or clinical input is required, this must be confirmed before the task is agreed.
When needs change
Care workers record the support provided and report refusals, discomfort, skin concerns, changes in mobility, confusion, pain or other meaningful changes. The care plan and risk assessment are reviewed where circumstances change, following relevant incidents and at planned review points.
Service boundaries
