Client Right #10: "A right to make choices in their own lives, including, but not limited to, where and with whom they live, their relationships with people in their community, the way they spend their time including education, employment, and leisure, and pursuit of their personal future, and program planning and implementation."
In the blog section please comment on how you as a caregiver can help to ensure each individual chooses their own things they want for his/her own life.
As a caregiver we are here for help the clients communication, leadership, patience, attention to detail, and problem-solving.
As a Caregiver we are here to assist our clients into making the best choices for their lives , they ultimately get to make their own choices there are ways we can help them execute their plans , such as helping them with things they need such as being a great support system and encouraging things they want to accomplish setting goals
As caregivers we can help our clients making decisions by giving them options and giving them time to allow them to make a decision. Explaining things in ways they understand to facilitate.
If the personis unable to make decision give them simple option, like the choice between two different shirts etc. People like their styles and no one wants to wear somethingthat isnt them, something as simple as not allowing a person to choose rheir own clothing can affect their dignity.
As a caregiver we can help to ensure each client gets to make his/her own choices by having conversations with each client to see what are their likes and dislikes. What do they wish to do and be a part of in their life and within the community? If we take the time to speak with each individual then we can help them to achieve their dreams and goals by helping them to plan out the activities they wish to participate in.
