Home Visitor Participant Relationship.

The home environment is more that just a physical environment. Peace (2015) groups the home into three categories, the physical environment, the social environment and the psychological environment.

I would want them to feel at home, and make the resident hall a home to its residents. In a home, all voices are heard, all opinions valued so I would create a suggestion box to get feedback from the residents, I would also hold weekly meetings and hang out since, a family that eats together stays together. There will also be movie nights and laundry days, so that a regular day activity can be enjoyable activity that would facilitate and help build a community, friendship, networking and

Over the past few decades there has been an increasing emphasis on self-care and home health care. Due to the Recent changes in health care towards individual’s autonomy and self-control, increasing aging population, the shift from acute to chronic diseases and early discharge policies, many health care services that were previously provided in hospital settings are now being shifted to home (CHCA 2014, CHA 2009). Although the demand for home care has a significant increasing trend (HGO 2015), yet Canadians are not entitled to home care services under the Canadian Health Act (CHA 1985). Home health care services are provided under the name of “extended service”, meaning

During the first few weeks as manager I instigated a range of methods to give residents more inclusion in their care support, I used knowledge from experienced staff and families to individualise general home communication for each resident. These included 1:1 communication support, signs and symbols and pictures. I read through the staff files and met on an individual basis with each staff member to build up a full picture of their needs and ability’s, as each staff member also has their own way of communicating with each other and residents.
