TASK 1
1.1 Applying principle of support to check that personnel are cared
Giving help to the service user in health and social care setting is the primary principle of
it. In health care, principle of support must be applied in such a way by which service provider
can ensure and maintain better health and well-being of Mr Bob who is suffering from disease.
Apart from this, individuals working in following sector must be aware about this principle and it
is important that they should respect the rights of patients and their personality. The values and
beliefs vary from person to person. Mr Bob is living is residential care home because of his
medical illness. The care home plays effective role in supporting Bob to overcome from his
issues. In order to provide better care services, there are some principles of health and social care
which are important to be considered. Some of these are described as follows: - Enhancing control and choice: - The residential care home looks forward in order to
build better relations between experts and Bob which authorize them to play active role in
managing and improving his health. Care: - This principle states that Mr Bob must be handled by doctors by significant
emotion, care, and affection (Brett and et. al., 2014).

 Promote health: - The care home must have prime objective to look upon the health of
Bob and they must take significant initiatives to promote his health which supports in
overcoming from the illness(Brown and Smith, 2012). Respect for privacy and self-esteem: - It is important for the care home to ensure that Mr
Bob is respected all the time and service provider should ensure that he must live life of
self-respect in health and social care home. His mere dependency on staff for his basis
needs do not empower staff to frustrate and humiliate him.
 Risk taking responsibility: - It is important that care home must not demotivate Mr Bob
for performing activities which have the risk involved for him. It is necessary for service
provider to take care of Mr Bob whenever he performs any risk associated activity in
order to protect him from harm.
1.3 Analysing advantages of using a person centred approach for Mr Bob
Person centred approach refers to analysing the necessity of individuals, the kind of care
needed for him and various tools through which effective care can be granted to Mr Bob. It is
necessary for the care provider to possess skills such as problem solving and information giving
for being flexible. There are some benefits of person centred approach which are being described
as follows: -
 The approach helps in creating positive, healthy and beneficial environment at residential
care home for Mr Bob. Apart from this, it supports in making complete atmosphere
cohesive and it becomes easy to control and manage.
 It is a significant approach which helps is increasing self-motivation of Mr Bob by which
he remains happy as he gets the feeling of being desired.
 It supports in developing an effective relationship in home care. Mr Bob feels the sense
of association with care providers and thus, they are more cooperative with Bob because
of the developed relationship (Edelman, Mandle and Kudzma, 2013).
 It is difficult for the care home to handle Mr Bob as he is particular with the style in
which he is living with. A person centred approach supports in changing his life style
towards positive path.
