Case Study Booth House

The assessment process is the back bone to any package of care and it is vital that it is personal and appropriate to the individual concerned. Although studies have found that there is no singular theory or understanding as to what the purpose of assessment is, there are different approaches and forms of assessment carried out in health and social care. These different approaches can sometimes result in different outcomes.

When clients are referred to Family and Youth Services an initial assessment is performed, which includes information on a clients demographics, residential status, income, insurance coverage, mental or medical history, and main reason for seeking service. The process also includes an overview of different areas of need such as shelter, food, safety, and health care.

There are many forms I use to assess an individual’s needs. The first bit of the information comes from Derby City Council, which is called a outcome based support assessment. This is what they use to identify someone’s needs and how much care they require. The information on this document is great for Derby City to use, but I also need to do my own and adapt it so it’s easier for a care worker to understand as they are the ones who will be doing the care. It’s important that I read this document before going out to do my own care plan as it gives me a bit of back

Referrals are not done often at Booth House. When the youth at Booth House are discharge they may receive a referral to alternative housing. These alternative housing units are mainly for the female youth who have stayed at Booth House. If the teen is pregnant they will be referred to The Salvation Army’s Transitional Apartments and Parenting Center (TAPC), this referral process is beginning by Booth House but the follow up is done by the youth. Females referred out of Booth House also have the option to be referred to Chadwick. Chadwick is an alternative housing unit that is not affiliated with The Salvation Army. This referral requires the case manager to be more involved, they have to call and check if there is room for the teen. They

The first stage of the process is assessment. Roper et al (2001) refer to this process as ‘assessing’ indicating an ongoing activity; this encourages nurses to recognise the on-going nature of this initial phase. The assessing stage includes gathering information about a patient, reviewing this information, identifying actual and potential problems and prioritising (Roper et al 2001). Roper et al (2001) explain the importance for assessing, as early as possible in the patient’s stay. Extensive, in-depth information may not be gathered on an initial assessment, however any information obtained contributes towards individualised care (Roper et al 2001). Ambrose and Wittig (1998) explain that the initial assessment becomes a foundation for ongoing assessing and holistic care. Barrett, Wilson and Woollands (2009) concord with Roper et al and Wittig in that assessing is an ongoing process and elaborate on this explaining that assessment should not be confused with admission. They state “an admission tends to be a one-off process when you first meet the patient, whereas assessment carries on throughout your relationship with the patient” (pg22). Assessment enables the nurse and patient to identify actual and potential problems. Although, some problems can be directly related to biological needs, holistic needs must be considered, i.e. psychological state and cultural/social standing

It is also a trial run for the program to make sure that is suitable to meet the goals and objectives once it is officially implemented.

Shelter’s approach to anti-social behaviour in young people if to primarly identify the needs of the individual and solve the root of the problem, rather than it resulting in a scenario where young people are evicted and moved into a different accommodation only to reoffend (Cullen, 2006). By helping young people re-engage with their community, they hope to tackle anti-social behaviour and and social exclusion for the long term.

I met the Relief House Director – Debbie at Gaines House. Her schedule is flexible and she shares this task with other ladies (Cathy, Lindsey, Kim and Janice the cook). She said the enrollment varied but Gaines could house up to 22 women. Each person receives SSI, SSDI or is employed to pay for room and board. The cost is $360.00 per month which includes rent, utilities, and food. Women share their rooms and currently 16-women live at Gaines House. I reviewed the case files of two of the three women I planned to mentor – Samantha, Desiree, and Stephanie.

According to my last service learning experience at ROOTS in 2014, the clients in the shelter were mostly young male adults. The homeless people’s age range in the ROOTS are young, which is mentioned as ROOTS instruction with age 18 to 25. The ethnicity in ROOTS are wide too, which includes whites, black, Latinos, and very little of Asian. In the shelter, some of the people were unemployment and some of the people has a job. Some people in the shelter exchange their life event with each other and some people were quiet and seeking for peace. Since the client’s information is private as the law stated for every shelter. I did not have the way to check on the health status on each client. However, based on my observation on their appearance in the past, people were healthy in ROOTS and very few of physical disability people that I have seen in ROOTS. Also, clients in the shelter mostly looked nice and friendly to chat and play. The most common risk behavior may be that some of the people may use some words of sexism to the female volunteers. However, those clients in the shelter did not like to talk and would like to avoid any type of communication. Therefore, the physical violent situation did not occurred according to my past experience. The clients in the shelter can all speak English, even though several of them may not take English as their primary language. Overall, these clients all have their different stories
