My Five Strengths

Upon starting this unit we were required to take a Strength Finders survey. This survey can tell us what your greatest strengths are. When finding out these strengths you will know what you will and can bring to the company you are working for. After taking the survey I was able to find out my greatest strengths, which are includer, arranger, responsibility, empathy, achiever.

As I am an includer I want everyone to be included. This means I would not want anyone to be left out or feel unwanted. This is true in our home I always include everyone on all the decisions on the home. This could be from the way I grew up my mother’s home was always full of kids, mine is too now. Now that all my kids are

The benefits of this are more revenue for the company along with happier employees. When having a strength – based organization everyone is working in harmony. They have positive attitudes instead of negative attitudes.

I have learned in our company with my caregivers while I was office manager to listen to the concerns of my caregivers and clients. When a company manager does this they understand more of what the clients want and do not want. When I would do this I learned which caregivers and clients work best together. This was wonderful for I knew who to send and who I should not send to a client’s home. Now if I was sending a new caregiver to a client’s home I would call the client first to make sure it was alright and why I was sending a new caregiver.

Most of the time the clients where okay with it. I would next call the caregiver into the office and go over the clients’ likes and their dislikes. This way the new caregiver would have a heads up on the client. This would work about 95% of the time. The clients would always call me the next morning sometimes before I got the chance to call them to see how it went. They would usually tell me that it was okay to send that person back to their house

    The tasks performed by Home Care Workers to assist a client with daily living activities are documented in procedure manuals that have been endorsed by the (Clinical Practice Review Team) which forms part of the Australian Unity Clinical Governance Framework. Those procedures cover basic care support tasks such as assisting with showering or bathing, basic toileting practices, dressing, grooming, oral hygiene, medication assistance, basic assistance with feeding, skin integrity and care. All staff are trained and educated in the enablement model of care where they are to encourage the client to focus on their capabilities and not deficits. The re-ablement focus of Australian Unity is evident in all our support plans with individual client goals mapped to individual support strategies to meet those goals very clearly written up (e.g. an overarching goal to increase mobility may be mapped to a measurable goal of being able to walk to the front mail box with the support plan detailing what a home care worker should be doing to assist the client in achieving those goals). Australian Unity also provides care under the short term restorative care program, and has existing functional measures that can be utilised by professional staff across all…

    In the Strengths Finder survey, my five greatest strengths are adaptability, harmony, responsibility, consistency and an includer (Gallup, 2010). I realized that I had some of those strengths but some of those are new to me. The strength that has always stood out to me that I knew about was responsibility. The other four, I guess I have developed along the way. As I sit and think about my results of my test.…

    The care partners’ experiences with collaboration with home care services span a continuum. However, their descriptions of collaboration routines indicate that few or no systematic procedures exist. They receive little information, are rarely included in decision-making processes and seem to lack basic knowledge about legal rights. The care partners expressed the need for information, time for own activities and to remain in their original role, that is, not being forced into a care role. The care partners carry a great responsibility but make no demands until absolutely necessary.…

    The first and most important method would be, getting to know the resident. As a nurse aide, I would take some time to sit and talk to my residents. By doing so, I will be building a relationship with the resident which allows for better communication and understanding between one another. This will also help me to figure out what my resident’s favorite activities, hobbies, movies, etc. With this information I could try to incorporate these items into their daily or weekly events which would allow for them to feel more at home and possibly happier.…

    I have been in this position since May 2014; I had come from a home care background. My role in this position is to help my residents’ transition to their new living environment: some are transfers from another assisted living community, from an independent living community, or from their own homes. There are varying reasons why my seniors have to move here; perhaps, memory lapses become much more frequent and the stove is left on one time too many, or perhaps the frequency of falls increase. Whatever their reasons, it may not be a seamless transition for them, and I spend hours of my day listening to, consoling and comforting my residents. They are experiencing anxiety, depression, loneliness and sadness, combined with aging.…

    This made me have a positive view of social worker's and service users and carer's relationships. At the time I was thinking how happy I was for the carer and her son for getting the help she needed. The thing I would improve if I went back to this would be to ask the carer how she felt when the "weight was lifted off" her shoulders. ' (Commensus, 2017). I'd ask her if she has any breaks to herself and how she finds things to do for herself like hobbies…
