Digital Care Plans

redhouse sudbury

We have introduced digital care plans to complement and link with our digital medication system, which involves our carers carrying digital handsets and entering information at point of care, thus ensuring all information is up to date and easily accessible to all staff.

The creation of individual care plans for each resident is the most important document that we prepare.

The care plan is fundamental to the person centred care that we deliver. It tells the staff everything they need to know about each of our residents.

At a very early stage of a resident joining us one our senior staff will carry out an initial assessment on the person's needs to ensure the home will provide the service that person requires. The document contains every relevant piece of information that we can gather from the resident, their family and friends and their healthcare and associated professionals.

It exists to make our residents life as well cared for, stress free and enjoyable as possible.

All our carers read the care plans regularly. This ensures that they are familiar with any changes to the care of the resident and that it is updated to reflect the ongoing needs of the person concerned. It is essential that these requirements are understood by the whole team.

Our Head Domestic and our Chef also have access to the care plans to make sure any allergies and food requirements are known and to make sure that the residents food is cooked to their liking.
