Helping Harry
The partnership approach to care is modelled on evidence-based, best-practice approaches to caring for older people in a range of supported settings.
As you’ve discovered, a key feature of this approach is about bringing the different partners-in-care together, listening to their perspectives and respecting their points of view.
How does this help Harry?
After Harry became upset about not being able to visit Jetson, Harry’s healthcare manager, Rosie, set up a meeting between Harry, his family and healthcare team. The purpose of this meeting is to better understand Harry’s issues and discuss possible solutions.
