Explain why it is important that social care workers work in partnership with individuals using the service and their family?

It is very important that you work in partnership with your colleagues and all other people. This will include carers, families, advocates, doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, other health professionals, social workers, voluntary organisations and other people.
Others people may be able to provide useful information to support you in your work and you may be able to provide useful information to support them being part of the individual’s lives. This is so called good partnership working. If there are communication difficulties with service users. A carer or family member can share information with you about how you can better communicate with an individual and how you can improve. Service users dietery restrictions, preferences and dislikes can only be aware or known from their family members or friends. So it is essential to establish a communication and maintain good relationship with service users family and friends.

Describe how different individuals may experience living with dementia depending on age, type of dementia and level of ability and disability?

In fact, Dementia is not a disease but a set of symptoms which decreases the ability to think, memory and communication skills of human beings. It also declines the skills that needed to carry out daily activities. There are many causes of dementia. Few  are :
·         Alzheimer’s disease
·         Vascular disease
·         Lewy body disease
·         Frontotemporal disorders
·         Parkinson’s disease
·         Trauma
·         Huntington’s disease
Depending on the form of dementia people’s ability and disability fluctuates. It is not necessarily to think that people with dementia are always forgetful. Like, people with Fronto-temporal dementia are very less forgetful than Alzheimer disease. Their memory remains intact but their personality and behaviour noticeably changes.
Dementia with Lewy bodies interrupts the brain’s normal functioning and affect the person’s memory, concentration and speech skills. It has similar symptoms to Parkinson’s disease such as tremors, slowness of movement and speech difficulties. People with vascular dementia may suffer from incontinence or seizure where other types of dementia may not affect those.
However level of ability and disability depend on individual’s age and condition of dementia. People who are living with dementia in earlier age such as 60’s-70’s are less dependable than people living with dementia at the age or over 70’s or 80’s. People have different stamina in different ages. So, their ability and disability fluctuated and level of support are varied as well.

Describe how a person centered approach can support individual with dementia to eat and drink?

Treating everyone as an individual and make them informed choices are the best person centered approaches. If we treat everyone as an individual then his or her  wishes, preferences can be aware of individually. And it will be much convenient to fulfil being aware of their wishes or preferences to meet service users satisfaction in order to provide quality services. Many people with dementia can make their own choices such as what they like to wear, what they like to eat or drink. If anyone are unable to make so, we can inform them available choices. They may not be able to communicate or tell us anything sometimes so we need to show them the available options. We may also aware of their choices such as what do they like to eat or drink most from their biography or asking service user’s family or friends. Another important thing is observation. By observing, we may make note what they like to eat and drink most or what went well.
We always should offer them with options and choices.
