 Development
At Spectrum GCM we approach the development of the care plan with the utmost clinical judgment, and sensitivity. It is a complex process that the care manager is specially trained to do. It is a tool that embraces the uniqueness of the individual client’s needs and preferences, the presence or absence of informal supports, the availability of appropriate formal services, and the experience and training of the care manager.
The care plan maps out the next steps. The goal is to preserve and protect the independence and dignity of older or disabled persons by providing the most personalized client centered services to maintain the best quality of life possible.
We assist caregivers in obtaining information needed for the best decisions in acquiring optimal resources and services. Based on this, the plan will provide recommendations for the most effective and comprehensive services required for your loved one to remain safe and healthy.
Based on the information obtained in the initial assessment, the care plan can include plans for support at home or exploration of care facilities, adaptive equipment needs, safe driving reviews, referrals to psychiatrists and cognitive specialists if cognitive deficits are noticed.
Education and emotional support for the client and the family are incorporated into the plan as well as socialization and community support services.
Areas examined in the care plan development process include the following:
- Assessment of clients’ needs
- Problem identification
- Comprehensiveness of the care plan, including problem statements, goal statements, and service descriptions
- Time table of services
- Review of objectivity and all participants
- Approval process
- Family and client participation
- Family and client satisfaction
