Updating Patient Care Plans (PCPs) When a Senior’s Health Changes
Written By: Pranay, Health & Care Blog Specialist
Introduction
Health conditions in seniors can change suddenly or gradually — from new diagnoses to recovery after hospitalization. To ensure safe and effective care, a Patient Care Plan (PCP) must be updated regularly.
At Life Circle, we’ve built a structured system where PCPs are not static documents but living plans that evolve with each senior’s needs.
Why Updating PCPs Matters
- Seniors may develop new health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or dementia.
- Post-surgery recovery often requires changes in mobility support and wound care.
- Medication schedules may need adjustments over time.
- Families’ expectations and preferences can also change.
Regularly updating PCPs ensures continuity of care, reduces risks, and provides peace of mind to families.
How Life Circle Updates Patient Care Plans
Regular Health Assessments
- Nurse supervisors visit homes to reassess seniors every 30–60 days.
- Comprehensive reviews include vitals, mobility, nutrition, and cognitive function.
Feedback From Families & Caregivers
- Families provide inputs via the Life Circle app, phone, or direct feedback during nurse visits.
- Caregivers share real-time observations on appetite, sleep, mood, or any health changes.
Collaboration With Doctors
- For medical conditions, nurses coordinate with the family’s physician.
- New prescriptions, therapy instructions, or lifestyle recommendations are immediately reflected in the PCP.
Technology Support
- PCP updates are stored digitally in the Life Circle system.
- Families can view updated plans instantly via the app for full transparency.
What Changes Are Typically Made in PCPs?
- Medication adjustments (dosage/timings).
- Nutrition updates (special diets like diabetic-friendly or low-salt).
- Mobility support (adding physiotherapy sessions or mobility aids).
