Assessment and Care Planning Program - Age Concern Aged Care Consultancy Program

This practice oriented program involves an Age Concern staff assisting your staff in assessing for care needs and developing an individualised Care Plan for one of your residents. It is about minimising documentation but maximising its effect for the individual resident.

This is not 'selling' you another Care Plan or package, but how to use yours effectively.

This program is must if any of the following occur at your facility:

PCA’s/AIN’s assess high care residents
you do not assess the cognition of residents within an hour of admission
if your only behaviour record is the ACFI form
words such as prompt, assist etc., are still stand-alone statements on your care plans
you are not aware of the recent review of non-verbal pain assessment tools

“This program has equipped my staff with the ability to translate assessment data into more extensive and effective care strategies & to argue the validity of those strategies, while re-affirming their competency and skills at the coalface.”

Mary Anne Edwards – DON Resthaven On Quarry

There is a ONE (1) day or TWO (2) day program option.

ONE (1) day program (six hours)

You arrange a suitable date and time with Age Concern Pty Ltd and then forward to us (scan or mail) a set of your admission & assessment documents. With these forms in front of her, step by step, our facilitator, Prue Mellor, will show/discuss with you:

how to maximise the use of each of your tools
the additional tools required, but not for funding
explain how to translate PAS and Cornell findings into care strategies
the issue with the Abbey pain tool, and
how to re-word your care plans to substantiate your funding ACFI claims.
