Before coming to care, perhaps we all had vibrant lifestyles in our own ways: we socialised with friends, neighbours, work colleagues and went to clubs and places of other and attended events such as celebrating the Queen’s birthday, international Womens Day etc. In other words we had a social network and took an active part in social activities. One of the most thought-out policies of PEOPLES CARE LTD is the maintenance of Service Users’ social network and social activities. The Service User’s Care Plan includes a facility for recording life history, social networks and contacts, and preferences for activities and hobbies, in order that users have access to those networks and activities which are appropriate and desired. This will help the service user maintain some of that vibrant social lifestyle, if not fully but to some extent, so that they do not feel isolated from their natural past life and pushed into a routine, boring and colourless lifestyle.
We will help them make the most of those contacts and networks. This will one hopes most likely give the user a sense of being himself/herself, though in a limited manner because of age or a medical/health condition. It will help to uphold the morale of service users and thus help them to live with dignity.
