In this assignment I am going to explain the rights of individuals and how it should be respected. The oxford pocket dictionary (2005) defines rights as something that people are allowed to do or have. Individuals have different rights in a supportive relationship in a care service.

Moral rights are rights which deals with behaviour, lifestyles etc. e.g. individuals have the right to have their own beliefs, right to be different etc.

Political rights are rights to do with the government .e.g. individuals have got the right to vote at the age of 18 and right to choose who they want to vote for.

Legal rights are rights to do with the law e.g. right to justice, right to educate if individuals are under the age of 16.

Sexual rights are rights to do with sexuality, sexes etc. e.g. Individuals have the right to express their sexuality etc.

Service users in the care should be respected and valued by showing them positive attitude and giving them their privacy when needed. They should also be looked after very well. Staffs should be willing to do everything for the service user e.g. washing, giving them the right medication, dressing etc.

Safety can also be an important issue in the care home. Service users have the right to feel that they are safe and secure whiles they are receiving care. They should remain free from concern by not thinking about themselves and the setting. When working in a care home staffs should access the safety of the place regularly to check if it’s free from hazards.

Equal opportunities are also important within a care home. Staff should treat all their clients equally without discriminating against them. Staff should treat everybody the same regardless to their illness as they will treat other people outside the care home.

The clients should be well looked after, this could be done by helping them with basic things like cleaning up, giving them the right medication etc.

Individual’s right can be respected in a supportive environment in many ways. Staffs should not make the service users feel helpless by letting them do things by themselves if they feel like they can do it; e.g. if they want to wash or get dressed they should be allowed to do so.

Being independence in a care home can be important to the service users.  Most of the times clients would like to do things like dressing up, washing etc. by themselves, as a care worker you should allow them to do it if they want to without interrupting. This could give them high self esteem.

They should not judge the Service users in what they do, e.g. when an old person in the care home accidentally spill a drink or wets themselves, the staff shouldn’t’t give them attitude instead they should be willing to help them clean up because it’s part of their job.

There are lots of supportive relationship between service users and staff in a care home. Confidentiality is a right that should be kept because it is very important. The staff should be able to keep personal information about the service users within the care home e.g. when an old woman tells you where she puts her valuables and you go round telling other people about it, she would be in danger.

Use examples to evaluate the role of supportive relationships in enhancing the life experiences of individuals receiving health and social care services

D1

Joe is a 65 year old whose wife died 2 years ago. He leaves in a residential home. Before he moved to the residential home he was leaving with his daughter. His daughter couldn’t look after him anymore because he has dementia and easily forgets things. He also has a broken hip and has difficulties in moving.

During Joe’s time in the residential home, his family visits him regularly and he has made a lot of friends but sometimes he feels isolated and lonely. Joe is receiving treatment for his hip because he finds it difficult to move. He has been offered a physiotherapy session 3 days a week by the residential home.

Joe can now be able to move even though he finds it difficult sometimes. The physiotherapy sessions are helping him to achieve his right movement. His dementia is being worst. He often asks care workers about his wife who died 2 years ago, if she’s coming to visit him. The care workers often talks to Joe patiently about his late wife. He sometimes understands when he’s told his wife his wife past away.

Joe feels very secure and safe in the residential home. He gets on well with the care workers because of the good care he’s being given to him by the staff.

Looking at my case study, supportive relationship that enhances Joe’s life is that he has a positive relationship with the care workers. He got on well with everyone and was given the help he needed. He was also offered a physiotherapy sessions which helped him with his moving. The care workers were very patient and helped him remembered things he couldn’t remember like his wife dying.

There are strengths and weaknesses in supportive relationships. Some of the strengths are that:-

  1. When clients and care workers work in partnership to understand each other there will form a strong and supportive relationship.
  1. Supportive relationship can allow the clients and the care workers to build trust among them. For example care workers keep clients files confidential in order for the client trust them.

Weaknesses are that:-

  1. There would be no trust if there is no supportive relationship between the clients and service users.
  1. The client will not be able to deal with certain things like emotions which will result in anger.

Physical Abuse

Any physical contact has the potential to be seen as a form of physical abuse. It can depend on the degree of force, or the nature of the contact, used and the intention behind the action.

Clear cases of abuse would be classed as common assault and subject to criminal prosecution. This could include hitting, slapping, kicking and pushing – the sort of actions involved in bullying. These may be carried out by care workers who lose their temper with a service user because they are being difficult or it may be in retaliation for being hit with ...
