Service Users Plan Review

Once developed, the Service Users plan will be reviewed monthly or more frequently if required and updated to reflect any changing needs and ensure that the objectives for health, personal and social care are actioned. Any plan developed will include the involvement of the Service Users and their relatives or advocate.

Family and relatives will be encouraged to participate in the Service Users daily routine as far as this is possible, and are invited to monthly formal reviews. Service Users and their relatives are always welcome to chat with a member of the care staff if they have any concerns.

• The Service Users Plan is reviewed at three levels:
• Daily on a shift to shift basis. At staff shift changeover the Service Users daily care notes are handed by the outgoing shift to the staff on the incoming shift and the Service Users responses and activity patterns are discussed as needed. Changes to the Service Users Plan may be proposed at this point.
• At the end of the four week settling in period.
• thereafter a formal review is held with Care Staff on a monthly basis

All amendments to the Care Plan will require the authorisation of the Home Manager or Senior Carer: Certain amendments may require the authorisation of the Service Users GP.

All amendments to the Service Users plan are recorded in full.
