We provide day care services to physically disabled people. To deliver the right kind of care to users we compile and individual care plan, part of their care plans include managing their health and wellbeing. In order to do this, we provide a 'weekly weigh in' which provides them with the information they need to maintain their weight and lead a happy and healthy life.
Why they need our serviceWe provide day care services to physically disabled people. To help them lead a healthy life we give them the opportunity to be weighed which is difficult on a normal set of weighing scales, so we desperately need to purchase some wheelchair scales. There is a great shortage of day care services and without this type of service users would be isolated in their own homes and not see people.
Plan and expected resultsSeveral times a week the groups meet to join in with activities and socialise with others. There is a real sense of purpose when the groups come together, a 'feel good factor'. They enjoy coming to the group and meeting with others which they have know for many years. We are expanding our services and will be taking in new members quite soon, so they too will benefit from this much needed service, delivered by professional caring staff.
