Actionable tips to creating a personalised care plan

Vi har i detta nyhetsbrev vänt blickarna mot England och intervjuat ansvarig från BKR Care Consultancy. Ta gärna del av intervjun nedan.

To provide some feasible tips and pointers as to how your residents’ care plans can get more personalised, we asked Founder and Director of BKR Care Consultancy, Bhavna Keane-Rao.

1) From ’What is wrong with you to what matters to you’

An essential part of working in a more bespoke plan through the resident’s care plan is to shift the focus from ”What’s wrong with you?” to “What matters to you?”.

A way to do so is to focus more holistically on the resident’s personal history. What they did and when is important to them and very personal, so more will be revealed as they trust you more. This also means the ‘getting to know them’ part of being a carer is an on-going process.

2) The resident’s needs are not static

It is important to bear in mind that the resident’s preferences might change over time. To accommodate these changes, it is vital to be able to change your records effortlessly, so it is always up to date.

3) Appreciate the uniqueness of every resident 

Everything the resident does is in a unique way, and if the carers are able to observe and include this in the resident’s care plan, then they will be able to understand the resident even better. This way the staff will get to know what and why something upsets the resident and what to do to make them happy.

Large care homes can work personalised without compromising quality

Working with a fully personalised care plan for each resident might seem impossible if you run a large care home with a lot of time constraints. This is where care planning software comes into play.

Denmark’s biggest LD care home has 213 residents, and they working exactly with personalisation, to overcome the barriers of a generic care plan, introducing a person-centered care plan for each resident, without compromising their service and capabilities of delivering on each of the residents’ care plans.

Another reason for working more personalised with the care plans is the care staff. Most people that become a carer dream of enabling people and this empowerment possesses a massive scalability for social care. Staff are not hired to fix people’s problems, but to understand and assist real people living real lives in residential and nursing care.
