Aged care consumers deserve the right to choose what they do, how & with whom
to make informed choices about care & services, and to live the life they choose.
The Australian government recognises this right in the new aged care standards of July 2019.
Standard 1 is a foundation standard which requires providers to deliver & show evidence of how they provide dignity, respect, information, choice & independence to consumers.
This will require many providers to shift how they deliver services.
MyCDC™ is a researched & trialled model of care that puts relationships & consumer choice at the heart of services in a communal setting. It assists providers to maintain a quality of care where consumers are in the forefront of what happens during their lives on a daily basis.
It is the answer to the most basic human needs we all experience. How often have you heard:
❖ Changes are here – are you ready?
❖ Are you listening to me? Really?
❖ Do you know what I really want?
❖ Can your culture and service model meet my preferences, and support me to live the way I choose?
We provide a complete system to operate Consumer Directed Care in a residential care setting. The system includes:
- How Engagement is conducted;
- How Services are provided;
- How Financial management is achieved that benefits the consumer and the provider.
The MyCDC™ system is implemented in 3 stages:
1 - A six month pilot (in part of the residential care facility) to tailor the system to your needs - what works and what doesn't;
2 - The roll out of the system across the whole facility;
3 - Embedding the system in practice and changing the culture.
The benefits include a system where residents and families are happy and in staff that are motivated. The organisation is able to provide the services required and operate in a financially sustainable manner.
The pathway to getting started:
We provide knowledge & answers through a series of workshops from an Introduction to full Implementation of MyCDC™. The workshops are in 4 parts:
