What must happen to a care plan if a resident experiences a significant change in condition?

When a resident experiences a significant change in condition, it is crucial that their care plan undergoes a complete re-assessment. This ensures that the care provided is aligned with the resident's current needs and circumstances. A significant change could include new medical diagnoses, a decline in physical or mental capacity, or changes in social or environmental factors that affect their well-being.

Re-assessing the care plan allows for the identification of any new needs and the adjustment of interventions, goals, and outcomes accordingly. This proactive approach to care not only supports the resident’s health but also aligns with the best practices in patient care management, ensuring that care is person-centered and responsive to changing conditions.

Timely and thorough reassessment is essential to providing high-quality care and ensuring residents receive appropriate support tailored to their evolving situation.
