Once we develop diseases and disabilities during our life course, we can develop interventions which reduce the impact of those conditions on our lives and the services we use.

It is good for our mental health and wellbeing to check in and support each other, families are welcome too.

Environment and social activities
As part of Lorraine's assessment she will be able to look at the home environment, including safety and safeguarding concerns and direct you to your local support services. Together we can look at ways to support and coordinate community services in your area. Family and friends are everyone's priority but if you are feeling abandoned, isolated or lonely, Lorraine can work with you to build on future relationships and move forward with your personalised goals.
Advanced Care Planning
Golden Community understands and can support you through Advanced Care planning. This can be a difficult subject to broach with loved ones. Lorraine is highly experienced in dealing with difficult discussions regarding DNACPR/RESPECT forms and Lasting power of Attorney. Planning for future care is an empowering act that allows people to feel confident their wishes will be considered if they are ever unable to fully participate in decision making. By having good quality conversations about future treatment, people will have a greater sense of control over their ability to live well and die well.
Baseline observations
On initial assessment and monthly reviews, we will look at using recommended tools to assess your general health status, functional independence/performance, cognition and social support. All assessments and health needs will be sent to your own GP for their records on your request. An individualised action plan to maintain optimum level of health and wellbeing will be completed together.
Frailty
Frailty is now being considered a long term condition. By using the Rockwood assessment tool, Lorraine can assess and identify any needs that may be addressed to maintain or improve your frailty score. Using a Multidisciplinary approach we may involve local private physiotherapists and nutritionists to reach and maintain your optimum self.
Chronic Disease Management
If you're living with a chronic disease, we can help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Our team of healthcare professionals will work with you and coordinate your care with your GP and other services.
Dementia screening
As part of your initial assessment, Lorraine will offer a memory screening test. Lorraine will support you through the process to contact your GP for further tests and referral to the memory clinic if required There are also local private companies who offer a full dementia screening and diagnosis if you are worried or showing the early signs of Dementia. Early diagnosis of dementia is key in tackling and treating the progress of the disease.
Falls prevention
Lorraine has always had a passion in falls prevention. Falls in the elderly can lead to hospital admissions and even death. Lorraine will complete a falls risk assessment and discuss recommended ways to stay independent and safe. Together we can look at ways to minimise the risk of falls in the home and source local resources such as balance and exercise classes.
