Subject: Health, Disability, Illness, Behavior, Perception and Legislation, Social policies,
Society and Code of Practice
Q1.Concept of health, disability, illness and behavior
Health as well as social care services is considered to be as significant aspects in lives of
people living in society. But with the passage of time, the perception of people regarding
the services provided by health and social care institution has changed. Earlier, an
individual used to visit health and social care institution until and unless there is an urgent
need. But with an increase in health awareness, people visit hospital for routine body
checkups and have an understanding about healthy lifestyle. As it has been identified
from the given case study that name as Parkinson’s disease, So he requires special care as
well as treatment that helps him in improving his health (Colosio and et. al., 2017).
Parkinson's disease has a negative impact on the quality of life. Several symptoms of this
disease might have an adverse influence on the behavior of an individual. It is required by
medical staff in an organization to develop the understanding about the needs of patient
suffering from such disease and gain knowledge about the symptoms of Parkinson's
disease. As this activity will assist medical professional in providing appropriate treatment

as well as suitable care to patients (Grasso, 2016)
Disability is the ineffectiveness of perform a physical, mental or social activity that causes a
person to lose the self-confidence and well-being. Mr. Pen has the disability regarding
visual impairment and hearing problems. Other than this, he also suffers from cardio
respiratory and digestive problems. This has affected his health, made him more ill and
deteriorated his behavior. The Parkinson disease has also disabled him to perform the
work more effectively. Thus, in this case, the care home has to effectively take the
measures to meet Mr. Pen’s requirements.
Illness is related to diseases which can impacts the well-being of person and his behavior to a
greater extent. The illness not only makes the person physically weak but also frustrate
him mentally. Thus Residential care home has to look after the proper handling of Mr. Pen
as a patient.
Behavior is the attitude and reaction of a person towards a condition or activity that occurs or
takes place in its surroundings. The behavior of Mr. Pen towards the care takers of care
home has been quite violent due to his prolonged illness, solitude and disability. His
anxious behavior is required to be monitored in order to maintain the health and well-
being.
Q2. Perceptions about specific needs have changed
The development of perceptions have been deeply affected by the practices that are been faced
by the individual. Thus, the organization will look after better handling of operations that will
help in better growth and development of the organization that will help in better rise in
compatibility of health and social care body. In the previous period, people used to be absurd
and unaware about the seriousness of Parkinson’s disease. But with the advancement of
technology and increase in knowledge, people and workers in the health care have gained a
good knowledge about the diseases and the issues related to it (Thompson, 2015). Thus, such
condition is required to be handling in a better way. This has helped the early detection of PD
in Mr. Simon and helped him to get a good medical treatment.
Also, the people have grown aware about the health concerns and thus, unlike to those in older
days, now take more care of their health and well-being. This will help in suitable rise in
compatibility of the health and medical care operations that support a good increase in
functional capability of the firm. Other than this, the development of a good perception will
support a good building of a better relationship that helps medical workers and employees for a
good rise in trust level and effectiveness of their operations that will help in suitable rise in
operational capability of an organization (Mirowsky, 2017). The early identification of the
symptoms that are been shown by the health and medical care employee’s or officials in the
organization. Other than this, it will help in better avoiding of different diseases that are been

taken in consideration by the firms. Also, it will help in prevention of any sort of stigma
related to the condition of patient or diseases and thus will help the organization which help in
suitable rise in capability of work force in health and social care
Historical perspectives and the social and medical models followed by the care home will help
the organization to carry out the operations and activities in a must effective and significant
manner. Since late 19th century to end of 20th century, care homes and services have been
evolved to a greater and significant extent due to development in medical and health care
facilities that are been offered by them. This also includes certain legal factors like human
rights which enables a person to have a good access to health care services and well-being
despite any sort of disability.
The social and medical model of disability is been considered that helps the firm to handle any
sort of impairment. Social model assist that the disability is caused by perception of society.
This assists in removing the barriers and convey their personal experience and induce an
inclusive way of living.
On the other hand, medical model states that the disability is caused by physical or mental
impairment and consider it even if it doesn’t cause any pain or illness.
Q3. Impact of past and present legislation, social policies, society and culture on the ways
services are made available for individuals
Various social operations and actions have been taken in an organization that helps in better
rise in compatibility. Other than this, it will help in suitable handling of wide range of business
operation that will help in suitable rise in operational capability of organization. Apart from
this, the legal obligations and social policies will help in maintaining the quality and standards
of medical services that are been taken in the health and social care home. Some major legal
obligations that are been taken in consideration are as follows:
 Health and Social Act, 2012: This will help Mr. Pen and his family to get the proper
support from medical staff of health and social care home. This will help them to that
the proper support and gain a good control over the operations that will help in
suitable rise in operational and service quality offered by the organization in a better
way (Green and Thorogood, 2018).
 National Health Service Act, 2006: This legal obligation will help the organization
to manage the health care requirements of the people in a better way. Mr. Pen and his
family will look after the better management of the operations that will help in
suitable rise in service quality and providing of a high quality services to the needful
patients like Mr. Pen.
Other than this, the social setup plays a crucial role in handling medical functions that will
help in suitable rise in operational capability of the health and social care services in a better

way. This will help in effective handling of good business operations that will support a good
increase in operational capability of organization (Glasby, 2017). Besides this, social cultural
beliefs and practices are required to be handled in a better way to maintain the quality of
medical services in health and social care home.

Q4 Analyze the care needs
of individuals like
Mr Pen with specific
needs.
Care requirement of
MR. Simon is analyzed as
specific in accordance with
that he requires a full time
assistant who would take
care of their specific
requirements. As per
scenario, Mr. Simon is
suffering from Parkinson’s
disease and is facing
problems of visual
impairment, hearing
problems and also exhibits
challenging behavior with
other people around him and
care workers (Glasby,
2017). Moreover, he is in
middle stage of Parkinson’s
disease. He is person who
cannot see, walk slowly and
even exhibits challenging
behaviors. In this context,
the care needs that the social
care home needs to be
provided to him is required
to be in accordance with his
social, physical, emotional,
language and spiritual
needs. Counseling
sessions are needs to be
organization care
professional with the
Mr. Simon to understand
his problems and
recovery diseases
(Bowling, 2014). Since
Mr. Simon is not able to
listen and see things,
care professional should
explained him things
with the help of special
electronic devices like
boldly written papers
and it should be written
in the form or the words
that can be clear so that
he will be able analyze
the things and also
understand information
(Green and Thoro good,
2018). In care home,
there would be an
availability of special
kind of trained, skilled
and expertise
professionals who would
be able to take care of
his requirements
effectively. Social needs
of Mr. Simon are
required to be met by
the health care home related
to hygiene, communication
and also provide him
attention.
Along with this, care
workers should also provide
him special and effective
facilities such as specialized
wheel chairs so that he can
sit himself and also operate
the chair. Care home also
needs to provide him
training with the help of
care professionals who will
guide him on how to behave
and communicate
information to staff so that
his requirement must be met
in specific time duration.
Other than this, the physical
needs like food and
clothing, social need like
contact with family,
emotional need's like
motivation to make
recovery and financial needs
will help an individual like
Mr. Simon to sustain in
health and social care.
The physical needs and
requirements that are to be
met for Mr. Simon will be

the proper health care,
medication and diet for
well-being. Social needs
will include the proper
behavior and attitude of care
services towards him.
As Mr. Simon is in his old
age, his spiritual needs is
required to be met
regardless to his age. Proper
praying and worship facility
should be arranged for him
looking at his physical,
mental and behavioral
condition.
Q 5 Explain current
systems for supporting
individuals such as Mr.
Pen in the case study with
specific needs.
As per care given
scenario, the patient is
suffering from Parkinson’s
disease and he is also not
able to see properly. He is
also facing problems in
walking and also has cramps
in his legs. However, care
home management needs to
provide him specialize
chair. As it was analyzed
that floors of care home are
like the wheel chair can be
easily operated by patient on
them. Care management has
designed the infrastructure
in such a way that it has will
be easy for patients to
access the wheel chairs and
important facilities which
would be provided them
(Mirowsky, 2017). It would
be easy for Mr. Simon
operate the chair
himself. Moreover,
design care home is
effective and it will
provide support to fulfill
the specific
requirements of patient.
There is also availability
of clear edge, proper
guidance, instruction,
signs and diagrams if the
users will try to pass
through the emergency
and dangerous areas
(Thompson, 2015).
Moreover, major benefit
of social care home is
that it has been designed
effectively by taking
care of all aspects and
requirement of other
users who suffer from
visually impairment,
socially, hearing and the
physically impaired.
Moreover, the
professionals,
equipment’s, machinery
and infrastructure
provide facilities that
users can be able to
operate their devices
adequate and easily.
Various legislation like
Health and Social Act,
2012 and National
Health Service Act,
2006 will help in better
management of the
operation that are been
performed to follow the
functions undertaken by
the organization to meet
the specific needs of
patients like Mr. Simon.
This will help in drafting of
good policies and
procedures to provide
suitable health and social
care.
The statutory support
system that can take place
for Mr. Pen are the services
and care measures that can
be provided to him with
validation. On the other
hand, the non-statutory
support system will involve
the proper management of
health care measures and
providing him a proper
service and health care.
Self-help is the process
where Mr. Pen has to look
after the proper handling of
his personal requirements
by himself with or without
involvement of any external
factor or support.
Q6. Finally, you should
evaluate the services
available in a chosen
locality individuals
with specific needs
Various services are been
taken in consideration by
the worker’s and employees
of the health and social care
home’s for the patients like
Mr. Simon. Unlike earlier
times, proper diagnostic and
preventive measures have
been assimilated to avoid
PD. Latest technology and
medication facility has

supported a good mitigation
and eradication measures,
which will improve the
overall satisfaction level.
The effective transportation
facility and accessibility
will help in improving the
overall operational
capability of the health and
social care system
(Bowling, 2014).
The timely identification of
ailments and diseases like
PD and other age related
health issues, proper food
and medication, clean and
hygienic environment and
medical support has aided in
effective rise in efficiency
of a health and social care
organization to manage the
requirements of the patients
and their families. Apart
from this, the adoptions of
the latest technologies and
measures have supported a
good management of
operations that will help in
suitable rise in capability of
health and social care
organization. The tools like
GPS will help in identifying
the location of patient and
other recreational activities

health conditions of a
patient like Mr. Simon.
Other than this, he can
utilize the services like
hospital, GP’s and
recreational facilities that
are been provided by
Residential care home. The
day care facility will
help him and his family
to take care of Mr. Pen’s
physical, mental, social,
and spiritual needs.

Vision impairment could not be cured alone by this therapy. This will help to reduce the mental
tension between the service users. Besides, regular or time to time diagnose styles are very much
productive for the body to take care time to time as per the health checkup. Besides, regular
treatment and care give better results to service users. Intervention strategies are the more
