How Life Circle Ensures Caregivers Follow the Patient Care Plan (PCP)
Written By: Nagaraju Raparthi, Senior Content & Care Story Writer
Introduction:
Patient Care Plan PCP Caregivers : One of the biggest concerns families have when hiring a caregiver is: Will the caregiver follow the instructions properly?
At Life Circle, we address this concern through a structured system called the Patient Care Plan (PCP). The PCP is the backbone of our caregiving process — ensuring every task is done consistently and safely.
What is a Patient Care Plan (PCP)?
Patient Care plan PCP caregivers Definition:
A Patient Care Plan (PCP) is a document prepared by Life Circle’s nurse supervisors after assessing the senior’s health condition and understanding the family’s expectations.
What It Includes
- Medication schedules (daily/weekly, reminders, and dosages).
- Hygiene and daily activity support (bathing, grooming, toileting).
- Nutrition and meal guidelines (including special diets, e.g., diabetes, low-salt, renal).
- Mobility and exercise plans (assistance with walking, physiotherapy routines).
- Special instructions (dementia behavior management, palliative care, post-surgery recovery).
Training & Orientation for Caregivers
Pre-deployment Training
Before joining duty, each caregiver is trained on the specific PCP of the senior they will support. Training is provided by nurse supervisors and includes practical demonstrations to ensure readiness.
Continuous Learning
Caregivers also have access to the CareTube app, where they can refresh their skills and review specific procedures related to their assigned PCP.
Supervision & Monitoring
Nurse Visits
Nurse supervisors conduct regular home visits to check if the PCP is being followed correctly.
Digital App Tracking
Families can monitor:
- Caregiver attendance and shift logs.
- Daily duty updates (meals, vitals, mobility).
- Escalations or alerts for unusual incidents.
This is all available through the Life Circle mobile app, ensuring transparency.
Feedback & Adjustments
- Families can provide direct feedback via phone, app, or email.
- The PCP is reviewed every 4–6 weeks (or sooner if required) to reflect changes in the senior’s health condition.
- If caregivers face challenges, they escalate issues immediately to supervisors for quick resolution.
