Introduction:
Patient Care Plan PCP :When families hire a caregiver, the biggest question is: Will they follow our instructions properly?
At Life Circle, we ensure that families and caregivers are always on the same page through a structured Patient Care Plan PCP. This plan becomes the bridge that connects family expectations, Caregiver Attendant tasks, and supervisory monitoring.
What Is a Patient Care Plan (PCP)?
Definition:
A Patient Care Plan (PCP) is a personalized document prepared by Life Circle’s nurse supervisors after assessing the senior’s health condition and family’s requirements.
What It Includes
- Medication schedules
- Hygiene and daily activity support
- Nutrition and meal guidelines
- Mobility and exercise plans
- Special care needs (Dementia, Palliative, post-surgery)
How Families Contribute to the Patient Care Plan PCP :
Sharing Detailed Inputs:
Families provide key details about the senior’s habits, food preferences, medical history, and daily routine.
Setting Priorities
Families can highlight their top concerns — e.g., medication reminders, fall prevention, or emotional support.
Giving Feedback:
Families are encouraged to give ongoing feedback via phone, App, or supervisor visits so the PCP remains up to date.
How Caregivers Follow the Patient Care Plan PCP
Pre-Deployment Training:
Before joining duty, caregivers are trained on the specific PCP of the assigned senior.
Daily Execution:
Caregivers record attendance, tasks completed, and any issues in the Life Circle Mobile App.
Escalation Support:
If a caregiver faces difficulty, they escalate the issue to supervisors for guidance.
Supervisory Role in the Patient Care Plan PCP :
- Nurse supervisors conduct regular home visits to check compliance.
- Families receive updates via app notifications and supervisor reports.
PCPs are formally reviewed every 4–6 weeks to reflect changes in health condition.
