Care planning in older adult care homes: a qualitative study of care staff experiences and views

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study aims to understand how care planning is conducted in English older adult care homes and explore the views of staff involved in care planning. Drawing on 22 semi-structured interviews, the findings of the study are organised around five themes: the aims of care planning; conducting care planning; support and resources for care planning; the use of care planning information; and improving care planning. Our discussion notes the ways in which care staff would like to improve how care planning is conducted but highlights that a lack of resources may make improvement difficult.
