Care plans

It’s a good idea to have a care plan. The people who provide care (aged care workers, health care workers, nurses) may be able to help develop a care plan to best support your care needs. A good care plan may:

• show how pain and other symptoms might be managed
• show how cultural, emotional and spiritual support can be provided
• help family members make decisions about care options
• help those involved know what to expect
• show how support to families and carers through the bereavement process could be provided.
