What is a care plan?
A care plan is a written document that helps ensure all aspects of an individual’s care are addressed and that the client receives the personalised support they require.

However, care is not just about providing physical assistance or help with daily living tasks, but also about meeting emotional, social, and psychological needs. A care plan ensures all aspects of a person’s physical and mental needs are met so that they can live a fulfilling and independent life. …
