When You Receive a Direct Service
What you need to tell the Support Staff member...
When you have an In Home service organised and a respite support staff member comes into your home it is essential before you go out to ensure the worker is aware of:
- all the health needs and medication regime of the person being cared for, any allergies and reactions
- the usual routines of the person being cared for and what they can and cannot do for themselves, and very importantly, their likes and dislikes
- anything that can be done that may further assist you such as light household duties,
- a mobile or other emergency contact number in case you have an accident and for any callers or visitors you are expecting
