WESLEY COMMUNITY ACTION SERVICES FOR OLDER PEOPLE PHILOSOPHY
Wesley Community Action provides services for older people that are life enhancing, complement individual lifestyles and promote personal growth. We unconditionally value and honour each person as a contributing member of the community recognising that each person is an expression of a particular culture, social network, environment and life experience. We also recognise that people have spiritual, social, sexual, emotional, physical and intellectual needs throughout their lifespan.
The services are designed to enable the person to feel a sense of dignity, well being, uniqueness and a purpose for living by:
1. providing care that respects people’s independence and need to exercise control over their lives.
2. providing the opportunity for people to make and maintain meaningful relationships and supporting existing social networks and primary carer relationships.
3. supporting and encouraging the development of existing abilities.
4. creating environments that provide for personal choice, space and dignity.
5. maintaining connections with the local community.
Issues of concern
We encourage resident, friends and relations to discuss any concerns they have, at any time with staff.
Multidisciplinary/Family Meetings
We also hold a meeting with each resident and invited family member/friend and staff members every six months to discuss the resident’s care and well being. This provides an opportunity for discussion and input into the resident’s lifestyle plan for ongoing care. |

Interests And Activities
|
The Activity Programme for Residents.
As the Hospital residents are often quite unwell, the Recreation Co-ordinator pays even closer attention to their individual needs in consultation with Occupational Therapist. One to one time with the Co-ordinator is planned wherever possible along with group games, sing-alongs, outings and visits from outside entertainers.
Visits from the SPCA and Canine Friends are always looked forward to. As shopping is sometimes not possible for hospital residents, the staff can undertake that if family and friends are not able to.
As this is home for the residents, visitors are encouraged to visit whenever it suits.
