Care Plans

Individual Care plans are developed and reviewed in consultation with each Resident.  Family members are welcome to be involved in creating the care plan with the Residents consent. Care plans are developed or reviewed:

• Upon admission and re-admission, in collaboration with the resident
• When a resident’s personal, health or social care needs change, the care plan will reflect your changing needs
• When the resident (or family member, if relevant) requests a change to his/her care plan
• A full review of each care plan takes place with the resident, and family representative as appropriate, on a quarterly basis; or, as cited above in response to your changing needs for example changes in general well-being, or following specialist review e.g. Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Physiotherapist or Dietician review
• Our care plans are recorded electronically; however, a paper version is available to the resident on request.
• The Registered Nurse is responsible for ensuring the resident is involved in developing his/her plan of care and is kept up to date with proposed changes in the plan.
