Care that is unique to you
Care that is unique to you
The care you get should reflect what is important to you, what you feel you can do and what you want to be able to do. It should be recorded in an easy to understand care plan in a format that is right for you, for example in large print. It should consider if the things you want to do involve any risks, and whether the benefits of doing these things outweigh the risks.
You should also be given a copy of a 'care diary' to keep in your home. Home care workers and others who help you at home (like community nurses and physiotherapists) should update it every time they visit.
