In our view, a proactive approach to complex care must be taken by care providers.
We believe that care should not only support the current needs of individuals but also work to prevent further issues from arising. This also includes anticipating future needs, for example through medical conditions progressing over time.
At Almond Care, we implement a forward-thinking strategy that considers all aspects of care, both present and future. Through this strategy, we can ensure that small concerns are identified early on, and the appropriate support is provided swiftly.
The benefits of a proactive approach
Taking a proactive approach is about understanding the potential challenges that someone with complex needs may face and addressing them before they develop into serious issues.
This process of anticipation and prevention leads to an overall more stable caring experience through:
- Preventative measures, such as assessing and adjusting our client’s home environment to ensure that it is both safe and comfortable
- Maintaining independence by addressing health concerns whilst they are still manageable
- More peace of mind for loved ones, knowing that their needs are being monitored and addressed promptly
- Personal growth and development for individuals, so that they continue to live life as they choose
Unlike reactive care, proactive care removes all uncertainties for our clients and their families. Through this, we ensure that a high quality of care is maintained.
Adapting care plans
As well as a proactive approach to care, we are proactive with how we structure our care plans.
Each of our clients is assessed by a Registered Nurse, who meets with the client, their family and their commissioner. This meeting allows our clients and their loved ones to find out more about our services and advocate for the support that they need.
From here, a bespoke care plan proposal is drawn up that aims to provide the complex care needed for our clients to live a fulfilling life. This proposal can be adapted and discussed at any point.
We work alongside our clients, their families, and commissioners to ensure that our care plans are adjusted to fit their needs.
Through this proactive approach, we can ensure that our clients have all the tools they need, when they need them, including all equipment and supplies that their complex condition requires.
