Care plan mostly
consists of an individual’s biography, history, preferences, wishes and needs.
We have to find out the level of
support an individual needs, and how it should be delivered before we deliver any support to an individual. We should also find out an individual's likes or
dislikes. We need to find out whether individual is mobile or immobile. We have
to find out whether an individual has capacity to make their decisions and
choices or not. We should be aware of an individual’s past and present medical
conditions. We can obtain all these information from an individual,
family members, GP, speech therapist, community nurses, former carer and social worker. When
we find out all of the information we need, then we write down a plan for their
care, which defines as a care plan. Observation and interaction is vital to find out individual's history, preferences, wishes and needs.
