Bespoke, tailored packages

At Unity Lives we understand the importance of truly person centered support and endeavor to co-create every package with the individual accessing the service and their significant others.

If you are looking for care and support at a specific, personal level then a bespoke care package could be the perfect solution, Bespoke care involves a range of tailored solutions which can be delivered to you within your home and tailored around your individual needs rather than a 'one size fits all' approach.

From early assessment and meeting we will tailor all care and support around your needs, wishes and expectations to co-develop a bespoke package that can provide the very best care and support within your home, the way you want it.

Person Centred Care

As the phrase “person centred” states, a person-centred approach is about making sure that a vulnerable person is at the centre of all decisions which relate to their life. A person-centred process involves listening, collaborating, thinking together, coaching, sharing ideas, and seeking feedback from everyone important to the individual.

Person-centred care is a way of thinking and doing things that sees the people using health and social services as equal partners to co-create and plan, develop and monitor the care and support to ensure all needs are met. This means putting people and their families at the centre of decisions and seeing them as experts, working alongside professionals to get the best outcome.

Person-centred care is not just about giving people whatever they want or providing information. It is about considering people’s desires, values, family situations, social circumstances and lifestyles; seeing the person as an individual and working together to develop appropriate solutions. Being compassionate, thinking about things from the person’s point of view and being respectful are all important. This might be shown through sharing decisions with people supported and helping people manage their care package, but person-centred care is not just about activities. It is as much about the way professionals and patients think about care, support and their relationships as the actual services available.

In order to be person-centred, services must adapt to be more flexible to meet people’s needs in a manner that is best for them. This involves working with people and their families to find the best way to provide their care.

This partnership works best on a one-to-one basis, where individual people take part in decisions about their care & support, or sometimes on a collective group basis whereby ‘appropriate’ others are involved in decisions about the design and delivery of services.

The underlying philosophy is the same: it is about doing things with people, rather than ‘to’ them

At Unity Lives we will maintain a person centred focus in everything we do, from early assessments to ongoing reviews of care and support being delivered.

The Team
