Support Planning
The Support Planning Process ensures Wisdom Healthcare meet the criteria set out in ‘Refocusing the care programme approach policy and positive practice guidance 2008’.
Reasonable adjustments are made to ensure the service user and their family can be involved in the decision making process. The process takes into account physical, mental, social, personal and emotional aspects.
Support Planning Agreement
When the service commences a Manager will visit each person in order to discuss their support plan and how their service will be provided. The support plan will be discussed with the service user and their family/ carer and agreement will be confirmed.
A Risk Assessment and Health and Safety Check will also be made and any authorisation to assist with medication will be obtained.
There will be a continuous review of needs and the Support Plan can be changed either temporarily or permanently. The people who use our service can make contact by telephone or e-mail. Any changes to the Support Plan will be negotiated and agreed with the people who use our service and or their family / carer.
Arrangements for the Provision of Personal Care
Once the service user and their family have agreed to the Support Plan, we will establish and provide a Service agreement and an information pack. Consent will be obtained and fees agreed.
