About
Support Care Plan Activities Care Services are provided by a wide range of care providers in many different ways. An important aspect of the provision of a care support service is to ensure that it is meeting the needs of the person. The care support must always be what the individual being cared for understands their own needs to be. The care support must be aimed at supporting the individual to achieve a positive outcome according to their needs, wishes, and preferences. The care support planned or provided should not be based solely on what the care provider thinks they should deliver, or what the care worker believes they can do. A very important role of the care worker is to find out from the individual about the type of service needed, and then to work alongside that individual and their family, and any other carers, to ensure that the best and most effective level of service is provided and that it meets the needs of the individual concerned. It is also important that the care worker understands the limitations of the service provided by their care provider. In such situations, the care planning may include arrangements for other care needs to be met by another provider, in partnership with the primary care provider.
