19a. Plan of care
“Every resident has the right to participate fully in the development, implementation, review and revision of their plan of care.”
In other words: You have the right to be fully involved in your plan of care. This includes when the plan is being made, carried out, or changed.
A plan of care is a written document that says what types of care you need and how you will get that care.
It covers your medical and nursing care. And it also covers things like personal support, nutrition, social activities, recreation, and religious practices.
Your plan of care is created just for you, with your input.
You have the right to be at meetings with your doctors and caregivers to talk about your plan of care.
You can ask questions and say what you want to have in the plan. And you can ask for changes.
You can also ask to see a copy of your plan at any time.
