what choices can you give residents in the care home?

Answer 1

Which foods not to eat. I worked in a nursing home kitchen and we had a list on the wall of things not to serve to residents because they didn't like them or religious reasons. They can also choose which pictures they want in their rooms and which clothing they wish to wear and when they wish to be up or in bed.
Anything that doesn't harm them or interfere with treatment should be allowed. Occasionally something that does harm them with doctor's consent. We had a man with throat cancer and diabetes, he was only eating soup then refused soup and claimed he would only eat ice cream. His doctor said to give him ice cream, he could die of cancer, starvation or diabetes so no good choices and ice cream would make him happy.

Answer 2

you must give any service user a full choice in their daily lives. anything that you cant give a choice on is an infringement of rights.
for example: a resident goes to the arcades and spends all of their benefit money in arcades, you feel the need to stop them but must remember it is their choice.

a lot care homes still have this "we are in charge" philosophy. but new government legislation states that care homes must give residents choice in their daily lives.

Answer 3

All the choices they want that are not restricted by care home policies ,practices and procedures.I don't suppose that leaves them with many choices though.
