Care plans are either the bane of a care manager’s day or an invaluable tool to help focus efforts. Whatever end of the spectrum you fall on, love them or despise them, individualized care plans are a required component of many regulatory agencies. Knowing care plans are required doesn’t help move the needle towards the “love” side of the equation. What would be helpful is an explanation, in simple terms, of why personalizing a care plan makes a difference, peppered with some practical advice on how to make it easier to personalize a standardized care plan.

A HELPFUL TOOL TO ASSIST YOU IN YOUR
SEARCH FOR IN-HOME MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
HELPFUL HINTS
BrightStar Care®
suggests the
following to help make the
process of obtaining quality
home care easier and eliminate
any unwelcome surprises:
Before your caregiver starts,
write out your loved one’s
daily and weekly schedule.
Include their likes and dislikes
with respect to food/diet and
activities. This will help make the
transition easier, less stressful
and help your caregiver get up to
speed quickly.
Remember that you are also the
client – never hesitate to express
your needs and give feedback,
especially if you are dissatisfied.
The matching of a caregiver is
as much an art as a science.
Clear, constructive feedback
always helps!
DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
Before you make your first phone call, consider what you and
your loved one’s care needs are. Try to paint a realistic picture
of the patient’s needs so that the right caregiver match can
be made.
> Do you simply need a companion, or someone who can
provide hands-on care (i.e. lifting, assistance getting into/out
of the bath, etc.)?
Do you need a caregiver that speaks a particular language
or is versed in sign language?
Do you need skilled medical assistance for things like blood
pressure and blood sugar testing, medication administration,
wound care or tube/drain/bag maintenance?
Do you need a caregiver who can drive you to appointments
or social events? If so, must they have their own car?
Is a memory loss diagnosis (i.e. Alzheimer’s, Dementia)
a factor or is the patient becoming confused or forgetful?
Do you need a caregiver who has received some specialized
training in fields such as hospice care, memory loss (i.e.
Alzheimer’s, Dementia), or severe mobility issues?
