At Five Care we support initiatives to help people relearn the skills required for daily living to enhance independence and minimise support.
The most common forms of sensory impairment in the UK involve sight loss or hearing loss, often related to the effects of old age.
Sensory impairment can lead to feelings of isolation and frustration, which can in-turn result in further health problems such as anxiety and depression.
Five Care has carers that are familiar with the issues caused by a loss of a sense and understand the benefits of a considered approach to care planning and delivery.
Hearing Loss
In our assessments and care plans, a lot of focus is on enhancing self-confidence, esteem and empowerment.
Tailored support for mental health encourages people to build on their skills and strengths, and we support initiatives to help people relearn the skills required for daily living to enhance independence and minimise support.
For many people, home is the most familiar and comfortable place to be. So home care for people suffering with their mental health would work best, as it allows people to maintain their independence and dignity, to receive care that is centred around their personal requirements and preferences, and should they prefer, to be surrounded by their nearest ones.
Loss Of Sight
Five Care will encourage clients to visit the opticians on a regular basis – the sooner you identify the deterioration of sight the better.
Loose wires and carpets, broken handrails and clutter can cause a hazard in the home. Our carers are trained to be vigilant and will work with our clients and their family to counteract any potential dangers.
There are a range of gadgets available which can help with everyday tasks. Typical examples include raised markings for appliance controls, clocks with high contrast faces and telephones with clearly marked and defined buttons.
By increasing the levels of natural light entering your home, you can really make the most of your sight. Our specialist carers are trained in recognising environmental factors that may impact on your sight. This may include accessing the artificial light in your home and even a change in colour scheme – coloured borders are especially useful for differentiating areas of the home.
