Person-Centred Home Care Services in Telford

The Importance of Person-Centred Home Care at Right at Home Telford

The term "Person-Centred Care" has been used for decades, but what does it really mean? At its core, person-centred care is about putting the individual at the heart of their care. It's about more than just addressing physical needs; it's about understanding and respecting the person's preferences, values, and lifestyle. This approach ensures that care is tailored to each unique individual, fostering a sense of dignity and respect.

In everyday life, it's often the little things that make a significant difference. At Right at Home Telford, we understand the importance of these seemingly small details in providing person-centred home care. This commitment to understanding and respecting the individual preferences of those we care for is a cornerstone of our approach. It's these little touches that symbolise our dedication to making every aspect of our clients' lives comfortable and familiar.

Person-centred care is simply at the heart of what we do. It's about seeing the person first, not just their needs or conditions. We consider it a privilege to enable those we care for to lead their lives with as much independence and fulfilment as possible every day.

The Power of the Little Things

A cup of tea, made just the way someone likes it, can be a moment of comfort and familiarity. It's a gesture that shows we've taken the time to listen and to care. But our commitment to the little things goes far beyond tea. Here are some other ways our CareGivers have been making a difference, as highlighted in reviews from our clients:

Morning Routines

For many, the start of the day sets the tone for the rest of it. Whether it's a specific breakfast request, a favourite radio programme, or simply the way the curtains are drawn, our CareGivers ensure that mornings are just right. This attention to detail can transform an ordinary morning into a cherished ritual. Bev, the daughter-in-law of one of our clients, shared her experience: "We asked for specific tasks to be completed and they were, but the carer went above and beyond, using her initiative"

Personal Interests and Hobbies

At Right at Home Telford, we believe that maintaining hobbies and interests is crucial for mental and emotional well-being. Whether it’s knitting, gardening, or watching a favourite TV show, our CareGivers support and encourage these activities. They also help to introduce new interests, keeping life vibrant and engaging. One of our clients recently shared: "All carers are kind and professional. They tackle a variety of tasks, including feeding birds and trying out new recipes. They are reassuring and confident, helping but leaving me in charge."

Companionship

Sometimes, the most important thing we can offer is our time and companionship. A chat over a cup of tea, a walk in the park, or simply sitting together in comfortable silence can mean the world to someone. Building these relationships based on trust and respect is fundamental to our approach. Reviews frequently mention the "kind and friendly nature" of our CareGivers, who are seen as "more like friends than carers."

Celebrating Special Moments

Birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions are opportunities to create joyful memories. We go the extra mile to celebrate these moments, recognising their importance and the happiness they bring. It might be a bouquet of flowers, a surprise cake, a handmade card or arranging a video call with distant family members – we believe that it's the thought and effort that count the most.

Our Core Values and Person-Centred Care

Our core values of Trust, Quality, Compassion, and Respect underpin everything we do. These values are not just words to us; they are the principles that genuinely guide our actions and decisions every day.

Trust

"Trust is fundamental to building strong, collaborative relationships with our Clients and their families." Building trust is essential for all the services that we provide. We continually earn this trust through reliability, transparency, and consistency. Our clients and their families need to know they can depend on us to provide the best care possible, every single day. A daughter to a client noted that she felt at ease knowing her mother-in-law had the same carer every day and appreciated the useful notes left on the portal after every visit.

Quality

"We are committed to providing high-quality care services and support; the same kind of care we would like for our own family." For us, quality care means doing things right and continually striving to improve. We invest in training and development for all our CareGivers, ensuring they have the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional care. We listen to feedback and are always looking for ways to enhance our services. KR, the granddaughter of a client, highlighted that our caregivers "do a great job and go above expectations" while always meeting every of her grandfather's needs.

Compassion

"We pride ourselves on person-centred, outcome-focused care, delivered with compassion, sensitivity, and without judgement." Our Carers are passionate about changing the lives of others and complete their duties with compassion and a real sense of purpose. We recognise that behind every need is a person with their own story, and we treat them with the care and consideration they deserve.

Respect

"We promote an all-inclusive culture, where colleagues and Clients can be themselves. We respect people’s wishes, seek to understand their aspirations, and support them to achieve their personal goals." Respecting our clients means honouring their choices, preserving their dignity, and treating them with the utmost regard. It's about acknowledging their rights and preferences in every aspect of their care. As RK, the son of a client, expressed: "They have treated my Dad with great care and great dignity and helped him recover, and have been very thoughtful to my Mum."

"Right at home is excellent. It is always nice to see the staff, they are always smiling and happy. They do a great job and go above expectations. Meets every need of the client and are very thorough."
