Person-Centred Care Planning
Whilst admissions and referrals are key elements for the business to be sustained, it is care planning which evidences the approach to care but also is the key indicator of quality when regulators, service users and families are looking at your service.
At care vision we recognise that the term 'person-centred care' has been taken from Tom Kitwood’s studies around this in the late 80s at the university of Bradford.
Person Led Care
Now this phrase has been overused to the point of people losing the original concept of what Kitwood was establishing. At Care Vision, we believe in ‘Person Led Care’. It is the individual that leads their own care and not the convenience of the organisation or those providing care.
Care Planning with Highly Experienced Professionals
The care plan reflects the services approach to looking at each person as an individual and tailoring the way in which we care in line with choices, wishes, and preferences. It needs to be clear and detailed to assist a carer who may be working with that person for the first time.
We need to make sure that we cover and consider regulations as well as being focused on the individual’s preferences and being of culture and life story.
Care Home Management System With Wide Functionality
Sometimes it is the carers themselves who first hand might notice changes or needs in the people we are caring for. If it is only managers and senior staff writing advance care planning, perhaps this is not giving an opportunity for junior staff to fully engage or understand how to care for an individual.
Whilst the care home might get good points from CQC in relation to the care plan content, if there is no ability for the carers to interact and evidence this as part of the process then could be argued that the care plan is just there for show and not for making things better. Carers can input electronic daily notes using our icon driven interactions or free text daily notes.
