I would really like to view this powerpoint presentation. Can it be reposted?
“I” Format Care Plans
Consider person directed care plans to enhance residents highest physical, psychosocial well being. Changing the style of care plan documentation assists to reflect the emphasis on the resident care from their personal perspective. The care plan is written from the resident’s point of view. Document assessments of the resident’s social history, communication ability, mobility, activities of daily living etc. as though the resident was talking. The care plan reflect a conversation with the resident regarding these key issues. For example, for Mobility; instead of “ambulation 2x/day”, a care plan would say “I like to walk. My favorite times for walking are after lunch and dinner. I usually walk about 15 minutes, but on nice days, I like to walk outside and stay a little longer” Goals: “ I want to remain as active and mobile as possible”. Areas that might reflect a decline such as Communication/Memory: “I use to communicate well and enjoy conversation with friends and family. I have become much weaker as my health has failed. Occasionally I have episodes of confusion. Sometimes I do not know where I am and I become frightened. Please provide orientation during these times and when you are providing my care. Let me know who you are and what you are going to be doing. When I am confused and frightened, I may strike out at you. Use calm gentle touch, and a soft spoken voice, while providing me reassurance.” Goals: “I don’t want my memory loss and confusion to interfere with my ability to accept the car I need.” These phrases address in the care plan, the residents assessed needs, interventions, and goals in a personal comment format.
