SSA Star Care Agency’s Concept of Care

We believe our clients’ quality of life is the main concern of the SSA Star Care Ltd run services. Clients can expect to be well-informed and involved in every stage of their care, and to have their needs met by skilled, qualified staff. This requires the creation of a caring and outcomes-focused environment, which reflects the right values and sets the standards expected by the Care Quality Commission. These can be summarized as:

Dignity

Safety

Health and Wellbeing

Respect and Involvement

Choice and Independence

Rights and Inclusion

Person-Centred Outcomes

Good Value for Money

Important Issues to Consider are

Race and language

Age

Gender

Culture

Religion or belief

Abilities

Sexual Orientation

Risk management

SSA Star Care Ltd believe care should be a positive experience. All clients have the right to lead a life which is as satisfying as possible and this will involve taking positive risks. The responsibility of the care manager and staff is to identify the risks individuals may present and take reasonable measures to reduce the risks without placing unnecessary restrictions on individuals.

Personal relationships

All clients, regardless of gender and sexual orientation, must have the right, freedom and privacy to enjoy personal relationships including sexual fulfilment. This will require staff to exercise particular tact and diplomacy.

Spiritual needs

Any client wishing to talk to a leader of religion will be helped to do so by the Care Manager where he/she is unable to make such arrangements themselves. Voluntary organizations should be encouraged to call for and assist clients, who wish to attend local services. Leaders of religion should be encouraged to visit clients and hold services as required at reasonable intervals by arrangement with the Registered Manager. Clients will be free to decide whether to participate in such services.

Cultural care and ethnic needs

Staff are responsive to the diverse needs and requirements of clients. Staff is aware of, and provide for, ethnic and cultural observances, both dietary and ritual. Clients with different ethnic backgrounds and/or languages should be able to feel that their needs will be responded to willingly by staff who understand the value of maintaining the sense of continuity and identity based on past traditions and practices.

Access to appropriate information

Services and information must be accessible to all clients. For some people with particular needs (e.g. due to sensory impairment, a learning disability, or where their first language is not written or spoken English) this may mean having access to translators, interpreters, alternative information formats or other relevant support. We ensure Staff is aware of how to access the range of information and services to ensure equality within the service.

Staffing and Recruitment

SSA Star Care Ltd follows our recruitment procedures. Applicants’ suitability will be assessed thoroughly before being offered a job. We ensure all interview records are maintained so that they are readily available for reviewing. We ensure the right amount of staff attends the homes at the right times and stayed for the right amount of time. We ensure if carer is running late the service user will be informed well in advance.
