It demonstrates the process of gathering and assessing information about the resident’s needs, creating the plan of care, and revising the care plan as circumstances change. It also explains when care conferences take place, who attends them, what is discussed, and how to prepare and be an active participant in the conference. It emphasizes the role of residents in planning and monitoring their own care, and the importance of family awareness and involvement, consistent with resident wishes.
