We are excited to share our ‘My Wellness Board’ initiative aimed at improving our resident experience and wellbeing here at BCAC. As part of our ongoing commitment to person-centred care and improving quality of life, we will be developing a Wellness Board for each resident who wishes to participate.
What is a Wellness Board?
Think of it as a personalised space where your voice, preferences, needs and goals are at the forefront. It’s a platform designed to empower you and ensure that your needs and goals are respected and understood. Think of it as a snapshot of the things that are important to you, to guide our team members on how best to respect your preferences and your care and service needs.
It is a tool we can use to assist us to best support you to achieve your main goals. It covers many aspects of your life including your physical, mental and social wellbeing and is designed to help you to have more good days within your BCAC community.
How will you participate?
Our staff have reached out to residents regarding their preference to participate. A time to sit and chat with you, or someone important to you, about various aspects of your life, along with your preferences about the care and services you receive. Once we have completed this discussion, we will create your Wellness Board. With your permission, the board will be placed prominently in your room so that everyone involved in your care can see it and benefit from the insights it contains.
How will this benefit me?
Your Wellness Board will serve as a visual hub for capturing your preferences, interests and goals. This will enable our staff to tailor their approach to your individual needs.
Your Wellness Board will also serve as a tool for fostering connections within our community. Whether it’s sharing stories, interests or hobbies, your Wellness Board will help facilitate meaningful interactions with staff members.
It will ensure that your goals and preferences are always front and centre, guiding the care and activities provided to you.
Ultimately, the development of your Wellness Board is about putting you at the heart of everything we do as a multidisciplinary team, ensuring that your time here is not just comfortable, but truly fulfilling.
