INTRODUCTION
In the health and social care sector service users are the peoples who use the health and
social care services and get effected by the services of the professionals. Roles and
responsibilities of the health and social care workers is involving the assessment of the service
user needs and meeting those needs with appropriate care plan and interventions. Social care
workers helps the service users to balance individual, family and social life, social worker role is
to support the patient to recover from the difficult health condition (Novak and Honan, 2019).
Social care workers also work on the several areas of care and support to help the individual
abilities improvement and increase their independence. In that report my role is as the social care
worker to assess the needs of the individual, in order to formulate the appropriate care plan for
the achievement of effective care and individual personal goals. Down's syndrome is the inherit
disease, caused due to the extra 21 chromosome in infant or baby. Within this report, assessment
of the 30 year old down-syndrome patient care and supporting needs is done, in context to the
development of appropriate centred care plan. The care plan should focus on the achievement of
the patient personal goals related to physical and mental skills improvement to become
independent. At the last of the report reflective analysis of this specific patient case experience is
done, in order to evaluate the development of professional skills.
Main Body
Ola Adeyemi’s needs analysis and care plan
The case study of the Ola Adeyemi’s is giving the information that, Ola is the having
the genetic health condition or complication, known as the Down-syndrome. At present Ola is 30
year old not bale to do various activities of the daily live, because of his health condition. Ola
from the birth is supported or cared by his parents, but now they are frail and facing the issues in
the management their own life. In context to the Ola health case I have been asked as a social
worker to help the Ola become independent and achieve his goals, by the implementation of
appropriate needs assessment and care planing (Lantos, 2018).
Down syndrome is the health condition, under which child born with the extra
chromosome and live their complete life, with some physical and mental disabilities induced by
this extra chromosome. This is also known as the genetic chromosome 21 disorder causing
development of intellectual delays. There are the multiple issues and complication faced by the

down-syndrome patient due to which they need, help and support of other in their daily life
activities. Some of the physical and mental health complication of down-syndrome are
Depression, compulsive disorder, obsessive, spinal cord compression, hearing loss, abuse, short
neck, small ears, small hands and feet etc. social issues face my the down-syndrome patient are
abnormal behaviour, social withdrawal, lack of the interest and fear.
In context to the assessment of Ola care and support needs with the fulfilment of which,
his goals is can be achieve, there is the need of application of the proper nursing and social care
assessment process. The appropriate model of the problem assessment and care planing is APIE.
APIE is stand for the assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation approach, this is
the commonly used approach to care planing in health and social care practices. Here for the
assessment of Ola needs and effective care planing I am using the APIE model.
Assessment
For the assessment of the Ola care and support needs, the initial step is assessment on the
basis of the APIE framework, so that relevant needs is can be identified. As per the guidelines of
this framework assessment is the systematic integration of the quantitative and qualitative data.
Quantitative data in context to the patient needs assessment is physiological status, so that
routine observation of the Ola temperature, weight, blood pressure, pulse is done. In other hand
qualitative data is related to the patient expectation, ideas and their own concern. Along with the
physical health observation Ola psychological health is also assessed. From the physical and
psychological observation it has been analysed that, Ola is gaining higher weight, anxiety,
behaviour disturbances. It has been also analysed that Ola cognitive skills and basic knowledge
about the society, social activities is very less (Silver and Boiano, 2019). From the more detailed
assessment of the Ola needs, I have focused on this strengths, peroneal goals and preference of
the Ola with other supportive staff. For the complete assessment process I make sure, the
effective therapeutic relationship with the Ola, due to which relevant information for the Ola
care plan is collected. From the overall assessment it has been identified that his strength is that,
his is educate till the age of 18, having the interest to improve physical and cognitive skills, his
personal goals is to improve the physical abilities along with the cognitive skills, in order to
become more independent. With the achievement of these improvement Ola can become more
independent and improve his quality of life along with his parents.
