Resident's Plan Review

Once developed the resident's plan will be reviewed monthly and updated to reflect any changing needs and ensure that the objectives for health, personal and social care are actioned. Any plan is developed with the involvement of the resident.

Family and relatives will be encouraged to participate in the resident's daily routine as far as is practicable, and are invited to formal reviews. Residents and their relatives are always welcome to chat with a member of the care staff if they have any concerns.

The resident's plan is reviewed at three levels:

• Daily on a shift-to-shift basis.
• At the end of the six week settling-in period.
• Thereafter a formal review is held with care staff on a needs led basis with a maximum of 6 months apart.

All amendments to the care plan will require the authorisation of the home manager or senior carer.

Certain amendments may require the authorisation of the resident’s GP. All amendments to the resident’s plan are recorded in full.
