Why is Empowerment so important?

Empowerment in age care and disability is crucial because it fosters independence, dignity, and quality of life for individuals. When people with disabilities or older adults feel empowered, they have greater control over their lives, can make informed decisions, and participate meaningfully in their communities. This leads to improved physical and mental health, increased self-esteem, and a stronger sense of belonging. Empowerment also promotes person-centered care, which focuses on the individual's needs, preferences, and goals, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

People have five fundamental needs that are central to person-centred care, with love at the core of these needs.

WHAT ARE THEY?

  1. Comfort - Everyone needs an environment that offers comfort, safety, and a sense of empowerment.
  2. Attachment - The desire for connection is deeply ingrained in all of us, especially when we find ourselves feeling out of place, such as moving into a new residential setting. It's crucial for people to experience a sense of belonging.
  3. Inclusion - Individualised care and welcoming environments contribute to a sense of belonging within a community.
  4. Occupation - Being occupied means participating actively in daily life. It is essential for caregivers and designers to foster environments that encourage social participation, utilizing individuals' experiences, strengths, and capabilities.
  5. Identity - Every individual is unique, and their personal life story should be woven into every interaction within a care environment. Upon admission, a comprehensive history is gathered to ensure that all caregivers are informed of the resident's background, religious, social, and cultural requirements, as well as their preferences and aversions.
