Supporting Aging With Dignity, Preparedness, and Insight
Care plans are personalized documents or digital frameworks that outline the health needs, preferences, and services required for individuals, particularly aging adults to live safely and with dignity. In the context of seniors, care plans may include information about medication schedules, mobility requirements, diet, cognitive support, and emotional needs.
