Your care plan
Your care plan
A care plan is a written record of the care you have agreed to meet your needs.
You should be involved in writing your care plan if you want to be. Your care plan is unique to you and you should feel in control. You can choose what to put in it and can add a summary of your life story if you want your team to know more about you.
Your care plan should contain all of your needs, not just your medical needs. It could include equipment that you need in your home or advice about managing your money. It could include help with hearing aids or glasses, support if you feel low, or advice about getting involved in your community and meeting new people.
Your care plan should be checked regularly to make sure it still meets your needs. This is called a review. You should have a care plan review at least once a year and whenever your needs change. Any changes should be written into the plan.
