Positive Behaviour Support Care Planning
At Bennfield House we use a Positive Behaviour Support approach to understand the underlying reasons behind a person’s behaviour. We recognise that behaviour is a form of communication and our care planning focuses on identifying triggers, unmet needs and environmental factors that may cause distress.
Our PBS care plans are overseen and developed by our Registered Mental Health Nurses, who bring specialist clinical knowledge and experience in supporting individuals with complex mental health and behavioural needs. They work closely with our care team to ensure strategies are clearly understood and delivered consistently in a person-centred, compassionate way.
By using proactive and preventative strategies and working collaboratively with residents, families and healthcare professionals, we aim to reduce distress, promote independence and create a calm, supportive environment where every individual feels understood, respected, and valued.
