Peace of Mind
In Action

Meet James* and learn how he (and his family) reached peace of mind.

*name has been changed

1. Connect and Discover

James’ story and goals

James is a 25 year old living with ASD, intellectual disability, epilepsy and bipolar disorder. He lives in his own supported accommodation, receiving 2 to 1, 24/7 care.

His main goal is to increase physical fitness, with a focus on swimming and long walks. He enjoys routine and familiarity, and his goals are centred around community access and involvement in activities aligned with his interests.

2. Plan and Create

What did we do to support James?

We implemented a person-centred approach, considering James’ non-verbal communication style and specific needs. The team included a Case Manager, PBS Specialist, a Lead Support Worker and other Support Workers, with an extended team of his mum, sister, and Support Coordinator.

His care plan involved a Positive Behaviour Therapist who was able to identify triggers and implement unique strategies for James’ support team.

3. Advocate and Evolve

How are we advocating to improve James’ quality of life?

Previously, James’ behaviours of concern (BOC) were too much in public situations for his previous provider, but by identifying his unique triggers, his Support Workers were able to introduce him to the public pool. We tried Hydrotherapy but it wasn’t for him, he preferred to relax have fun in the pool instead without the official assessment.

The weekly hydrotherapy and swimming trips to the public pool lead to significant improvements in James’ physical fitness and mental wellbeing. He was then able to attend more outings, including an animal farm with guidance from his Support Workers.

4. Demonstrate and Measure

How do we make sure we are accountable?

We measured outcomes by observing the reduction in escalated BOC, improved physical health, and James’ engagement in activities. Regular swimming sessions and exposure to new environments were key indicators of success.

Rob, his Support Worker Team Leader, played a crucial role in communication. He documented progress, shared updates, and highlighted both positive outcomes and manageable BOC. Information was also communicated with the family through Ellisa, his Positive Behaviour Therapist.

5. Review and Learn

How are we helping James to continue to reach his goals?

The plan is to continue with these successful strategies, ensuring consistency with the team. They will explore new activities and environments based on James’ interests, with the aim of making incremental improvements in his quality of life.

We also aim to discover more of what makes James laugh!

  • We use Visualcare, Australia's leading end-to-end care management software platform. This is where client information is housed. Support Coordinators and your nominated family members have the option to request information as required this could be from rosters or specialist care reports.

  • Through word of mouth from your support worker team, your family members and/or suppor coordinators. We also track evident based client health outcomes, for example improved diabetes management, reduced behaviours of concern. We run client surveys, and of course when we receive repeat referrals from support coordinators, we know their clients are being looked after.

  • Behaviours of Concern are tracked via what is called ABC charts and depending on the Behaviour of Concern, may become reported as an incident.  If there is an associated incident, the next of kin/guardian/support coordinator will be notified via phone call or email. In some instances, a review may also be requested with a dedicated case manager.

  • We monitor our clients by auditing and reviewing client clinical outcomes. For example, we measure and track wounds to determine reduction of size and depth, where that is a goal for the client.

    The clinical nurses or the National Manager - Clinical & Therapeutic Services provide regular clinical reports to Support Coordinators and encourage case management meetings for complex clients. In addition, we readily communicate by reaching out via phone to the family or Support Coordinator to discuss any issues arising or potential changes in client’s care needs.

  • Our service team communicates with you as often as required. We share the good news stories and address any areas of concern on a frequent basis via your preferred communication channel. This includes photos of community outings, achieving small (and big) milestones.

  • We update care plans as and when it’s needed. We are constantly receiving feedback from Lead Support Workers about your progress and liaise with specialists, and provide recommendations for care and support documentation for plan reviews.

  • We maintain meticulous documentation and reporting systems. Here are some examples of the reports and notes we produce:

    • Incident reporting

    • Activity and progress notes

    • Fluid intake output charts

    • Meal plans

    • ABC observation data charts
