Care planning
Key to communication in social care is the care plan. PaCT have developed a person centred care plan toolkit. The toolkit contains generic person centred care plan templates followed by guidance on their use and the principles behind them.
There are two editions. The full toolkit containing guidance 
935kb on each section and the new blank editable templates.
When using these templates it should be noted that:
- This is not a template that HCC advise all providers to use. It is a toolkit of person centred templates that are designed as a starting point for organisations to think about developing their own documentation.
- These are generic templates designed to cover aspects of care provided by most sectors of social care. It is not specific to only one (such as residential) and may not be appropriate for all organisations.
- Each organisation using the toolkit should evaluate each section in line with their current organisational needs and adapt this to best suit their service and culture.
We have also developed some condition specific risk assessments to be used in care plans that have highlighted a specific increase in risk due to an individuals condition or change in circumstances. These are based on existing templates and have been developed to suit social care settings. Please refer to the guidance documents 
44kb before using these which outlines when it might be approriate to use each one and where they were originally sourced from.
The risk assessments are:
Falls 305kb, Bathing and Showering 179kb, Choking and Aspiration 226kb, Domiciliary medication assessments, Manual Handling 192kb, Pressure Sore body mapping 113kb, Waterlow 137kb (tissue viability risk assessment) and Positive Behavioural Support Plan 82kb (PBSP).Braden Scale and Braden scale for home care
A very useful assessment tool for determining pain and distress is the disability distress assessment tool (DisDAT) with guidance and monitoring sheet one and two
We would appreciate any feedback you have on these new toolkit templates as we will be reviewing them in 6 months time. If you have any feedback you would like to offer, please email Spencer Ashton-Taylor and title your email PaCT care planning in the subject.
