Starting the day right with a good routine

...

Working one-to-one can give the chance to develop good daily routines and build your relationship

Emily's live-in PA Janet has worked with her to establish a good morning routine. Emily always decides when she gets up, and asks for support when she is ready. Janet knows what moving and handling equipment to use and follows Emily's lead, supporting her to do what she can. How Janet does all this is just important as what she does, and morning interactions set the mood for the day for both of them.

As you watch, ask yourself...

  • Why do you feel Emily's morning routine is important to her? 

  • If you work in home care or a care home, is there anything you could use from here where you work?
