The Edith Ellen Foundation believes that despite the
implementation of various pieces of care legislation, regulations and training
programmes intended to improve care systems, the care culture has not improved,
and it will not improve because at present, care systems do not have an
understanding of how to do it.
Care services require a focus on the fundamental cause of
inconsistent basic care skills in social care processes, and how to prevent the
abuse and neglect which appears in some care homes within a “caring industry”.
There is an urgent need to coach management and staff away from the repetitive
behavioural process that impedes a more caring delivery and kinder environment
for those receiving and delivering care services.
Understanding how to deliver excellent and consistent
individual care may be widely debated and discussed but only happens in those
rare cases where “someone” understands how to negotiate their way around the
health and social care systems and to bypass the internal and external barriers
that impact on management and staff behaviour which prevent the deliver an
excellent holistic care experience every time.
The
Foundation
understands all too well that there are real barriers that stop people trusting
in the safety of some care homes, and why it might result in abysmal care
processes and an unnecessary early and painful death of people receiving care.
We worry that:
·
in
part, current legislation and regulation leads to people’s rights and lives
being forgotten and lost and eats away at the protection, kindness respect,
compassion and care benefits for the people and their family on the front line
of care, in the first place.
·
the
caring industry as a whole relies too heavily on tick box systems and extensive
paperwork which is believed to support the care of patients but, in fact, it
rarely equates to a true day in the life of a care home.
·
it
relies but is not aided by the whole concept of paper trails and distance
learning aids as mechanisms for safe quality assurance for caring.
Without moving away from old ways of working it will never
reflect the underlying true behaviour and untrained approaches from care
workers which leads to dysfunctional and disconnected ways of working and lack
of quality assurance of care, which can be found in care homes in the UK.
The Edith Ellen Foundation believes it is the Good News
Story leading the way for our Edith
Ellen care workers to be trained and recognised as the leaders for
professional excellence in the care Industry.
It believes it holds the essential key strategy and
policies that will bring fresh ideas to care and will see sustainable and
consistent outcomes supporting the wellbeing and self-worth of all those
delivering and receiving care and will create a necessary guarantee for the
safety of people and their families.
As such, its aim is to assist in improving the trust and
provision of robust, dedicated and practical holistic Kindness
in Care, and to guide management and staff education toward proven behaviour
and staff skills that sees and understand the overall benefits of caring in the
manner which, so many good carers wish to give, but are hampered without the
support of effective and attentive processes and management and staff teams
learning how to deliver excellent care together.
This Foundation looks to provide a significant increase in
the understanding of the people’s own requirements and the overall standard and
recognition of the place outstanding quality nursing and care in all care
homes, locally and nationally plays in the reputation, sustainability and
profitability of the care industry across the UK.
The Edith Ellen Foundation believes a sound commitment to
kindness should be the lifeblood of anyone involved in the provision of care.
If that principle were to be enshrined within the culture of all nursing and
social care pathways, then abuse and neglect could be prevented.
As a Foundation we can’t do that without your help please
