Care services are personal experiences. The Aged Care Royal Commission has acknowledged that and recommends that, from now on, care providers reform services centred around people who receive care. It is about the lived experience, the choice and the transparency of information.
Rather than offering services in which care recipients will have to fit into, the right way to approach this is to co-design. The difference is that the ultimate goal here is not to provide new services to clients but with them.
But what is the day-to-day experience? What do they see? What do they hear? What do they touch? To answer these questions is necessary to listen and work with these people and their families to understand what configures the best possible life whilst you live in the community and what are the experiences that make it enjoyable. And that includes a deeper knowledge about who the clients are, what sustains them and promotes greater wellbeing.
The clients are also showing signs that they want to be heard and participate in this process. According to the latest Aged Care Complaint Commissioner, year over year, complaints against care services rise in a demonstration that clients and families are more vocal about what is not acceptable anymore. On the other hand, what is not so different over time are the outcomes. Most complaints are about improving individual aspects of care and relationships by understanding and communicating better.
It appears it’s time to roll up our sleeves, re-design and rethink the future of the care sector.
How?
