Every individual is unique and so do their choice, preferences and
tastes. An individual’s interests and choices can be found in care plan. We
also can contact their family members to find out most recent interests. It is
a best practice to inform individual about activities beforehand so that they
can choose whether to attend or not. If they would like to attend then care
worker can discuss with the residents to be agreed on level of support they
would like to have. Therefore, a brochure or leaflet for weekly activities can
be supplied to every individual to plan ahead for their activity. It also can
help social care workers to make a schedule for their residents to provide
support with their daily activity. Communication is one of the vital tools to
work with an individual and others (family, friends, activity co-ordinator, and
supervisor) to agree on how active participation will be implemented.
