Shardale Care Planning and Reviews
Each person will have a comprehensive
person-centred care plan which is tailored specifically to individual
need. It’s production is a shared activity between the key worker and
the individual service user. The care plan arises from the initial
assessment process and specifies the procedures for review and
discharge. Where there are mental health professionals involved, it will
be fully compliant with the Care Programme Approach (CPA). Regular
reviews by the key worker will enable the continual monitoring and
co-ordination of a service user’s development and recovery throughout
the treatment process.
Formal reviews involving care managers and other professionals are
convened at times suitable to the progress of the person in treatment.
The frequency of reviews will exceed the 6 monthly recommendation of the
National Minimum Standards. Once inducted into the programme, the
service user will have a copy of their agreed care plan which can be
kept in their personal development log. This will ensure that the
service user is always aware of the progress they are making and it also
fosters a personal, focussed and well managed approach to the treatment
process.
The care plan also includes an extensive and thorough discharge
procedure where the service user plays an integral role. Together with
the designated key worker and management, this process ensures the best
possible outcome for their continued recovery.
There is also the facility of a years after-care provision. This
comprises of groups held weekly that focus on continued abstinence,
relapse prevention, education, psychological/emotional development and
an overall support of the individual’s journey of recovery. This amounts
to 78 hours of continued support post-discharge.
Also accessible, as part of the service user’s programme, is a year of
Family Support Groups. This is for all ‘concerned others’ in the life of
the service user. This takes place on a monthly basis.
After care is now six months and takes place
twice a week totalling 2 hours. The programme is also flexible
and can be tailored to the service user’s individual needs. Longer or
shorter stays can be negotiated where necessary.
