Question: Case Study Is From – CHCCCS025 SUPPORT RELATIONS WITH CARERS AND FAMILIES

5. Jamie’s mum has been caring alone for him since he was born. He has had access to physiotherapy services in the past but with the introduction of the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) he will have access to personal care services. Jamie’s mum wants to be responsible for his oral care, grooming and his prostheses. She went to some training sessions on oral health and hair cutting and grooming. The physiotherapist instructed her about the correct positioning of his callipers and exercises for his legs. a) Explain why the care worker should avoid taking on the tasks of oral care, grooming and application of Jamie’s callipers. b) The model of care adopted by your organisation is consumer directed care (CDC). In this model who will be involved in the planning and delivery of services to Jamie? Based on your knowledge of individual support practices and the information provided about Jamie and his mum, justify your choices of people doing the planning and delivery.
