Health and Well-being for Individuals with Specific Needs

Health and Well-being for Individuals with Specific NeedsDOINA BORSANHow the health and social dread and system moderate individuals with specific needsAfter meeting Mr. Holland family, I can give you a report nigh his medical and physical state. He had auditory sense and ocular impairment, over the years due to these impairments develops dementia which make him aggressive with people coming in close contact with him. His famil were looking for a placement for him where to have all support and assistance needed in his daily life sentence, and they find that out C atomic number 18 Home is it perfectly fit with Mr. Holland.Mr. Holland has different c are needs, for some of them we are fully compliant with it, for other we have to ask support for other professional organization. Visual impairment, in their 10th revision, WHO descriptions for visual impairment, low vision and blindness was given in the internationalist statistical classification of diseases, injuries and causes of death. In their surveys about visual impairments they state that the largest proportion of blindness is connect to ageing. Although cataract is not a major cause of blindness, glaucoma is the second cause of blindness globally age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is the third cause. Other causes of visual impairment are corneal blindness which may be attributed to trachoma, trauma and vitamin A deficiency depending on area of living diabetic retinopathy childhood blindness onchocerciasis. Jette and Branch in 1985 said that visual impairment as physical disability is it not related with increasing social disability, these are concepts having different determinants. Due to this disability Mr. Holland has a escape of non-verbal communication and misunderstanding of others attitude and behaviour. The commune way to assisting Mr. Holland is to provide his glasses clean, walking stick if necessary and use style of communication that can defame the difference that exist such us la rge print books, colourful/lighting signs and symbols what can help him to deal in the new setting. Hearing impairment,(HI) as a loos or reduction of ability to hear clear , is it other barrier to communicate effectively. As a person who use hearing aid, we had to catch to it that is working properly, fitted correctly, had working batteries and is it clean to improve Mr. Holland hearing. Risk factors for HI other than age are genetic liability, infections, trauma, toxicity , diseases and noise exposure. Reduced speech recognition and perception of non-verbal sound is it affecting people with HI and their opportunities to communicate effectively is made difficult, and create harmful psychosocial effects of HI. To help Mr. Holland to adapt in our surroundings due to his hearing impairment we can use a translated typewriter for phone calls, or passing an information, speak clear that he can read on our lips and if this impairment will evolve in time we will ask help for British Dea f Association, which can provide us a sufficient British Sign Language, a form of sign language using hands and body language. MAKATON, a system who uses speech, signs and symbols can either help in communication process. Challenging behaviour, defined by WHO as a culturally abnormal behaviour indicated by individual or groups , which causes others problems, and which significantly interferes with the quality of life of all concerned. Causes of challenging behaviour are various, social isolation stress clinical factors medication, inadequate glasses, empty or no battery in hearing aid frustration of not doing things like before mental illness disempowering by lack of ability to communicate. Some of the signs of challenging behaviour we can see in Mr. Holland by aggression towards others or self harm. The staff need to undergo training to ensure awareness of the types, causes and effects of Mr. Holland behaviour while we are a Care Home with less contact to respond effectively to triggers, signs and symptoms of challenging behaviour. Dementia comes from Latin, demens= dement out of ones mind, describe oral sex disorders, a loss of brain function that is usually progressive and severe. A compulsive behaviour, aggression, increasing lack of personal care and personality change is a form of dementia. The damage caused to the brain cannot be repaired but we can learn to live with or to work with people having dementia. In our case Mr. Holland, can be involved in activities that can stimulate his creativity, speech problems can be helped by the appropriate therapy .Using GPs support to provide help with medication and special investigations , Psychological and psychological health support from professional bodies to make easy integration in our environment.Following the legislation of Equality Act, Discrimination Act, Mental Capacity Act, Human Rights, Confidentiality Act, Institutional Policies and Procedures who protect the individuals in every position, care taker or receiver and CQC Standards which protect de system and make sure that the care standards are up, out Care Home is it aware of legislation in force.Sometimes it can be very hard to really understand peoples needs and we are tempting to rely on stereotyping, not making differences in individuals needs. With adequate training and well informed about the issues we have to deal with, we can have a good idea about reactions and expectations of the individual. My conclusion is that we are able to coop with Mr. Holland needs and with some support of other organization we can give him an opportunity to live his life at the higher standards of caring.
