A skilled nurse case manager will walk along side you, and your loved ones to develop a detailed plan to address all aspects of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
The care plan provides direction for the individualized care of the client/patient and is a means of communicating between the client, caregiver and the nurse care manager. Needs are addressed and the plans are updated as needed and as goals and circumstances change.
The care plan uses input from other disciplines like other disciplines like a licensed clinical social worker, chaplain, etc. to help problem solve and provide resources. Goals are established with the input of the client, caregiver and family.
