Dementia Care

Dementia is a syndrome caused by a number of underlying diseases, including Alzheimer’s. It can affect memory, thinking, behaviour, communication and a person’s ability to perform daily activities

Some of the greatest challenges of caring for a loved one with dementia are the personality and behaviour changes that often occur. We are able to provide home care service that can best meet these challenges by using creativity, flexibility, patience, and compassion that will maintain your sense of humour of the sufferer

Respite & Crisis Care

We are able to provide continuous care to allow primary carers to take a break, whilst ensuring the same level of care and support is provided in service user’s home thus minimising disruption to a person’s routine and way of life.

Palliative Care

According to End of Life Care Strategy Promoting high quality care for all adults at the end of life published in July 2008; each year around 500,000 people die in England. From surveys of the general public we know that, given the opportunity and right support, most people would prefer to die at home. In practice, only a minority manage to do so. Many people die in an acute hospital, which is not their preferred place of care. However, we also know that many people receive excellent care as their life draws to a close. Over the past forty years hospices and specialist palliative care services have demonstrated what can be done to provide physical, psychological, social and spiritual care for people and their families. In recent years new models of care have been developed by the NHS and by the voluntary sector to bring good care to a wider number of patients.

Our team of qualify carer are able to work with relevant multi-disciplinary team and service user’s family to provide the required specialist palliative care with professional and emotional understanding that will treat the sufferer as an individual, with dignity and deliver high level of respect that the sufferer deserved.

Live-In-Care

We are able to provide Live-in care services which allows people to stay in their own home, living as independently as possible, for as long as possible to provide personal care services, housekeeping, cooking and even pet care..

Intermediate Care and Reablement

Intermediate care and reablement includes a range of services potentially available to people who are leaving hospital or to people who are at risk of hospital admission without timely and focused intervention.

In its approach, the care service follows the guidance issued by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), Intermediate Care Including Reablement (NG 74) and aims to achieve Quality Standard QS173 (2018).

Selekt Care Ltd recognizes that home-based intermediate care:

  • is targeted at people who would otherwise face unnecessarily prolonged hospital stays or inappropriate admission to acute in-patient care, long-term residential care, or continuing NHS in-patient care
  • is provided after a comprehensive assessment, resulting in a structured individual care plan that involves active therapy, treatment or opportunity for recovery
  • has a planned outcome of maximising independence and typically enabling service user/users to resume or remain living at home
  • is time limited (normally no longer than six weeks and frequently as little as one to two weeks or less)
  • Involves cross-professional working, with a unified assessment framework, single professional records and shared protocols.

Selekt Care Ltd recognizes that most reablement programs will be planned by the multidisciplinary team responsible for developing the local intermediate care provision; as such an experience and well trained carer will be matched to service user to implement care package designed for quick recovery.

Service users that lack mental capacity to take decisions

The Mental Capacity Act, or MCA as it is often known, was introduced into England and Wales in April 2007 to provide a statutory framework to protect those who lack the mental capacity to make their own decisions, such as those with severe dementia or any other significant brain dysfunction, and those who are dying and no longer capable of making decisions for themselves.

The Act applies to people aged 16 years and over and sets out:

  • who can take decisions for people who lack capacity
  • in which situations this can be done
  • How they should go about this.

Also the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 contain the following with respect to mental capacity.

Regulation 9: Person-centred Care requires service providers to ensure that the care and treatment of service users must be appropriate, must meet their needs, and must reflect their preferences and wishes. The regulation specifically requires service providers to act in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 with regard to people who may lack capacity.

Regulation 11: Need for Consent requires that care and treatment is only provided with the consent of the relevant person

Selekt Care Ltd will complies with the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and Care Quality Commission as it applies to England and Wales, by first treating all of its service users and prospective service users on the basis that they are able to take their own decisions and give valid consent to their care and treatment.

Selekt Care Ltd has a robust policy and procedure adapted after appropriate legal requirements and regulations to ensure service users’ rights and freedom are respected and will always work to make sure that no service user who might lack capacity is unlawfully deprived of their liberty.
