About the Personal Care Plan
The first step in making arrangements for the future monitoring of services provided for a family member with disabilities is the development of a Personal Care Plan.
This plan is developed as a result of one or more personal “one-on-one” meetings, with the client and other interested parties. The Plan is written in detail to provide services presently and in the future with the following key questions being asked:
- What supports are needed now?
- What supports may be needed in the future?
- Who will take responsibility in the future for the disabled person?
- What financial arrangements need to be made to carry out the Plan?
- Current and future housing needs
- Daily activities and interests
- Social, recreational, religious activities
- Transportation to events, medical appointments
- Comprehensive medical/dental information
- Legal information such as: wills, living wills, advance directives and funeral planning
- Special arranagments specific to the client
