Chinese Housebound Project

Aims

The Aim of the Chinese Housebound Project is to improve the quality of life of frail or disabled Chinese elderly by providing them with domiciliary care and personal care so that they can live independently in their homes.

What the service does

All service users will have a care plan setting out what help they will receive. Tasks may include:

• Vacuuming, dusting, cleaning toilet, kitchen and bathroom.
• Laundry tasks and ironing, shopping, pension or prescription collection, paying bills etc.
• Assisting in bathing, washing hair, dressing and undressing

Service Enhancements

As a result of Consultation Meetings and service surveys, the project worker is able to analyse feedback from the users and make improvements to the service accordingly.

There have been a few training courses for the domiciliary care workers and next year, we plan to arrange more training for them. We can then provide a better service when our care-workers are educated and familiar with aspects of their profession.

In the coming year, we will be re-designing the promotional leaflets and doing more outreach work to raise the awareness of the Chinese Housebound Project inside and outside Camden as this is still our top priority.
