Fostering Dignity: Alternatives to Restrictive Practices
Hilda Care’s Restrictive Practices service focuses on decreasing and stopping the use of restrictive methods in care environments. Our complete strategy starts with a detailed evaluation of existing practices; then, we create personalised alternatives. We use positive behaviour support techniques that are customised for each situation. Our service also includes special training for staff and caregivers, giving them the tools to handle difficult behaviours without using restrictive actions.
We continuously monitor and review practices to make sure they keep getting better and meet standards. Our team provides expert help in dealing with the complicated legal and ethical issues related to restrictive practices. By using this service, clients and care providers get a more respectful, dignified, and personalized approach to care. This results in more independence for clients, less risk for providers, and better overall care.
Recognizing the Need for Positive Change in Care Practices
Our Restrictive Practices service helps organisations improve their care methods and reduce the use of restrictive actions. This service is especially helpful for care providers who want to focus more on individual needs and maintain dignity.
Think about our service if your organisation:
- Often uses or is thinking about using physical restraints
- Uses chemical restraints to manage behaviour
- Uses seclusion as a way to control behaviour
- Isn’t sure if current practices are legal or ethical
- Is looking for better ways to handle situations without using restrictive measures
Indicators that suggest your organisation could benefit from our service include frequent situations where restrictive measures are needed, staff feeling unsure about handling difficult behaviours without restrictions, concerns from clients or their families about these measures, and a wish to follow current rules and best practices better.
If these issues sound familiar, our Restrictive Practices service can offer the knowledge and help needed to use positive alternatives, ensuring respectful care while keeping safe and following the best practices for person-centred care.
