CARE, SHAPED AROUND YOU

Prepare for a care conversation.

Start with everyday life

Think about what is becoming difficult, what is still working well and what the person wants to keep doing independently.

Talk about preferences

Routines, food, language, faith, culture, hobbies and communication preferences can all help shape a personal care plan.

Consider practical arrangements

Discuss the home environment, visit times, access, family contacts and what support is already in place.

Ask about the care plan

Understand what each visit includes, who will provide support, how changes are handled and how to share feedback.

Understand costs

Ask for the proposed costs and what they cover, including any separate charges and the terms for changing arrangements.

Review together

Agree how care will be reviewed, how the person can raise concerns and how others may be involved with their consent.
