Document details

Plan information

Section 1

Must-haves

The non-negotiables. What absolutely needs to work for this placement to be successful? Write these in plain language.

Section 2

Goals

What does the family want to see improve or be established over the coming weeks and months?

Section 3

Family Care Needs

Name each care need clearly. These become the IDs your Care Inputs Plan will connect to. Each need should be specific enough that you would notice if it was not being met.

Section 4

Constraints and what should not be assumed

What limits or sensitivities should shape how care is planned? Include schedule constraints, sensory or medical considerations, and anything that should be explicitly agreed rather than assumed.

Section 5

Why this comes first

Need before input

You cannot design good care without a clear need statement. This document is the foundation every care input connects back to — and the reference point for every monthly review.

Next step

Then build care inputs

Once this document is complete, use the Care Inputs Plan to define specific actions for each need — what you will do, how often, and how you will know whether it is working.
