Personalised Care For Every Resident
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all for care; every individual has unique needs as illnesses and health conditions present different symptoms and challenges. But, care goes beyond medical needs and includes personal preferences and life experiences. A care home care plan ensures your loved one receives the exact care and support they need in the way they want it.
At LuxuryCare, we are passionate about providing bespoke care for your loved one so that they can maintain their independence and live their best life.

What Is A Care Home Care Plan?
A care plan is a document used in nursing and residential care homes that sets out the care your loved one requires.
Whether your loved one is receiving long-term residential care, nursing care, dementia care, palliative care or is simply with us for respite, they will have their own care plan.
Usually, these documents are created prior to your loved one arriving at our home and are adapted throughout their stay with us to ensure they reflect their ever-changing needs accurately.
Our care home care plans are digital and every staff member has access to each care plan. They are treated as the bible for care for each resident and are constantly referred to ensure continuity of care across our care staff.
Contact our team to discuss your loved one’s needs and how we would put them into a care plan. Call us on 01202 037373.

How Do We Create A Care Plan?
There are several stages to creating a care home care plan for your loved one.
Most of the work will be done before they arrive at our care home so that all our staff are up to scratch with your loved ones’ needs and can start providing our quality care as soon as they move in.
- We will conduct a pre-assessment which will include assessing your loved one’s medical and personal needs.
- Conversations with your loved one to understand their life story and experiences that have shaped them and will shape our care.
- Chats with you and other relatives, carers and friends to gauge current care levels and further explore experiences and their life.
- Consulting medical professionals to ensure we provide continuity of care and understand how illnesses and health conditions have progressed so far.
- Produce our care plan document and review it with you and your loved one.
