Person-centred care planning
Person-centred care planning that stays specific to the person
Person-centred care planning should describe what matters to the individual, what support they need, the outcomes they want and exactly how staff should provide that support.
What makes care planning person-centred?
Person-centred care planning is not achieved by repeatedly inserting someone's name. The plan should reflect their routines, abilities, communication, preferences, relationships, culture, choices, risks and desired outcomes.
Write about strengths as well as needs
Describe what the person can do independently, what they can do with prompting and where they need direct support.
Make choices visible
Include preferred routines, how the person likes support to be offered and what matters to them day to day.
Make actions usable
The plan should help staff deliver consistent support while leaving room for the person's choices and changing needs.
