Changing Needs

To ensure that care and support plans are up-to-date and show the individual’s current needs and preferences, they should be reviewed regularly. This will allow you to provide the best possible standard of person-centred care.u00a0

A review should consider what is working, what doesn’t work, and what may need to change such as a new type of medication affecting the person’s diet. Workers that are returning from holidays, changing shifts, and temporary or agency workers will always have up-to-date information if care plans are maintained and current. In addition, care plans are legal documents that could be needed as evidence if the individual makes a complaint.u00a0
