Description

A bariatric client is anyone regardless of age, who has limitations to their health and/or social care due to their weight, physical size, shape, width and/or mobility. They will usually have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30kg/m2 or over.

There are complexities involved in managing and caring for bariatric clients in their home. Despite these challenges, this customizable policy assists to ensure anyone receiving care from staff at your service can receive the highest level of care, ensuring that all processes are performed with dignity and respect.
