Social work with elderly people in resid ential facilities
KOLÁŘÍKOVÁ, Martina
The thesis Individual Program-Planning in the Nursing Home Světlo focuses on an individual programming in a nursing home. The goal of the thesis is to provide detailed information about individual program-planning of social services in nursing homes in general, and about the roles of social worker, key worker, and client. The whole process is illustrated by description of one specific facility, which is the Nursing Home Světlo. The thesis is divided into four main chapters. The first chapter contains information pertaining the changes in one's lifespan, and the related issues. Strategies of understanding the aging process are introduced, as they are closely related to the client's attitudes towards individual planning. The second chapter focuses on a division of specific needs in the elderly. It explores spiritual needs in depth because these tend to be neglected in most nursing homes. The third chapter describes residential and social services for the elderly in state-operated facilities as defined by the law, specifically number 108/2006 Sb. about the required standards of quality of services including individual planning. In this chapter, the Nursing Home Světlo is introduced. In the last chapter the process of an individual program-planning is described, from an intake interview with clients to the evaluation of the whole process. The chapter also focuses on treatment plans, assessment of individual needs, personal goals, and the role of a key worker. The author concludes that an individual approach to clients with respect to their habits, rituals, needs, and wishes is necessary in this field. A true interest in client's lives and team work are equally important. Only such approach is able to ensure a high quality of social services that will guarantee satisfaction of clients in nursing homes and senior centers.
