Finding the Right Care Package

Caring for young people with autism requires a tailored approach and a deep understanding of their unique needs. Finding the right care package can often be challenging, and families frequently encounter several common problems.

At Caremark Bromley, we are committed to addressing these issues and providing exceptional care through our specialised techniques and experienced staff.

Common Problems in Finding Care for Young people with Autism

Understanding Individual Needs: One of the biggest challenges families face is accurately identifying and addressing the specific needs of their child. Autism spectrum disorders can vary greatly from one individual to another, making it crucial to find a care package that is tailored to each person’s unique requirements.

Securing Adequate Funding: Funding for autism care can be a major obstacle. Families may struggle to navigate the financial aspects and secure the necessary resources to provide consistent and high-quality care.

Finding Skilled and Consistent Staff: Identifying and retaining staff who are both skilled and reliable is essential. The care providers must be trained in handling complex needs and managing behaviours that challenge, which can be difficult to find.

Ensuring Effective Communication: Clear communication is vital for coordinating care and ensuring that families are kept informed about their child’s progress and any changes in their care plan. Lack of effective communication can lead to confusion and frustration.

Adapting to Changing Needs: As young people with autism grow and develop, their care needs may change. Finding a care provider who can adapt and adjust the care package accordingly is crucial for ongoing support.

Techniques Used by Our Skilled Staff

At Caremark Bromley, we employ several proven techniques to ensure that we provide the best care for young people with autism:

  1. Team Teach Training: Our staff are trained in Team Teach, a positive behaviour support approach that emphasises de-escalation techniques and promoting positive behaviour. This training helps our caregivers manage challenging behaviours in a non-confrontational and supportive manner.
  2. PMVA Training: We also provide PMVA (Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression) training, which equips our staff with strategies to safely and effectively manage aggressive or challenging behaviours. This training ensures that our staff can handle difficult situations with care and professionalism.
  3. Personalised Care Plans: We develop individualised care plans that are tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each young person. This approach ensures that the care provided is relevant and effective in supporting their development and well-being.
  4. Community Integration: We believe in the importance of integrating young people with autism into the community. Our care packages often include activities and outings that help them engage with their surroundings and build social skills.
  5. Companionship and Emotional Support: Providing companionship and emotional support is a key component of our care. Our staff focus on building strong, supportive relationships with the young people in their care, promoting their emotional well-being and happiness.
