Care planning

What is Care Planning?

Care planning allows care providers to understand why a resident is receiving care, the resident's medical history, preferences and personal details. It also provides vital information to care staff to help them provide the best possible care, support and treatment, helping to improve residents' safety and quality of life.

It plays a crucial role in ensuring individuals receive the tailored support they need. It involves a collaborative process between care professionals, residents and family members to create personalised care plans that address specific health conditions and support needs.

An effective care planning process meets both the social and medical needs of the people you support. Creating comprehensive person-centred care plans through a digital care planning system allows care providers to access residents’ preferences and important information at the point of care through the care app, when and where it’s needed. 

The Care Planning Process

The care planning process begins with a comprehensive needs assessment. This assessment identifies the person's care requirements, preferences, and concerns, paving the way for the development of a person-centred care plan. Throughout this process, active involvement of the person receiving care, their family members, and care professionals is essential to ensure the plan reflects their individual needs and goals.
