Our philosophy
Autonomy & Independence
Empowering the people we support to live with dignity and self-determination.
In control of their own lives
At Loidis Care Services, we are dedicated to fostering autonomy and independence for our clients. We believe that everyone deserves to live a life of dignity and self-determination, regardless of their age, health, or physical abilities. Our approach to care is designed to empower individuals, giving them the freedom to make choices about their own lives and care.
Understanding autonomy and independence
Autonomy
The ability of individuals to make their own decisions and control their own lives. It involves respecting the client’s right to choose and honouring their personal preferences and decisions.
Independence
Supporting clients in maintaining and enhancing their ability to perform daily activities and manage their own lives as much as possible, providing the assistance and resources to enable them to live independently.
Our commitment to autonomy and independence
- Personalised care plans: we work closely with our clients and their families to develop care plans that reflect each client’s unique needs, preferences, and goals — flexible and adaptable, changing as needs evolve so the care provided remains relevant and effective.
- Client involvement: we encourage our clients to actively participate in decisions about their care. By involving them in assessment, planning, and review, their voices are heard and respected, with choices over the type of care they receive, how it is delivered, and how often.
- Empowering independence: we create a supportive environment that encourages clients to perform daily activities and manage their own lives as much as possible, providing the tools, resources, and assistance they need to build confidence and competence.
- Respect and dignity: we treat each client with the utmost respect and dignity, honouring their values, beliefs, and preferences. Our approach focuses on what clients can do, rather than what they cannot, fostering a sense of achievement and self-worth.
- Continuous improvement: we conduct regular reviews of each care plan to ensure it continues to meet the client’s needs, actively seeking feedback from clients and their families, and our carers receive ongoing training to stay updated with best practices.
The benefits
