Care Plans

Each resident has their own individual plan of care

Computerised care plans are in place for all the residents in the home which are compiled with input from the resident and relatives whenever possible.  The comprehensive plan of care is devised together with risk assessments on mobility, nutrition, pressure care, safe environment and medication.  This plan is input onto a specialised computer programme.  All care staff are trained in the use of this programme from which they carry out individual personal care. 

Each day’s care is linked to a specific ADL (Activity of Daily Living.)  At the end of their shift staff input their reports onto the computer which will include details of the day’s events and activities.  The registered nurse in charge reviews all reports at the end of their shift and if satisfactory, signs it off. 

A monthly review of all care plans is undertaken by the Manager in conjunction with the resident and key members of staff and any amendments or changes are recorded.  During the month changes in care can be effected at any time.
