Tailored Care for Unique Needs

The most important aspect of care planning is the individual’s involvement. Not only ensuring that their opinions are heard, but that the care plan is understood, accurate and agreed. If caring for someone else, you should always involve them in the process and prioritise their wishes. Understandably some individuals requiring care and support may encounter difficulty in participating in, or making decisions about, their care and support.

It is always recommended to have a trusted family memberor friend involved in the care planning process. Their input can help to ensure that your wishes and preferences are accurately reflected in the care plan.

If an individual lacks the mental capacity to make decisions independently, a representative may need to be appointed. If a person is unable to fully engage in decision-making and has no one to assist them, the local authority is obligated to provide an advocate.

A care home care assessment forms the basis of a person’s care home care plan. It sets out the level of care and support the resident will need, as well as details of medication, diet, social interests and end of life preferences.

Where necessary we may consult with your general practitioner (GP) and other relevant healthcare professionals to obtain a thorough understanding of your care needs.

During assessment, the individual will be notified if Foxburrow Grange requires contact with a GP, pharmacist, or hospital consultant. Such consultations will only be initiated when deemed to be in the applicant's best interests for a specific purpose. 

To ensure that your care plan remains relevant andeffective, it should be regularly reviewed and updated. At Foxburrow Grange we review individuals care plans monthly as standard but update as required if there has been a change in need in a particular area.

Regular reviews are crucial to ensure that your care plancontinues to meet your changing needs and preferences. As your circumstances evolve, your care requirements may also change. By reviewing your care plan regularly, you can ensure that it remains aligned with your goals and provides the necessary support. By actively participating in care plan reviews, you can help to ensure that you receive the highest quality of care possible.
