Care Planning: Preparing for End of Life
Care planning identifies actual and potential problems and provides a guide for how individuals’ needs will be addressed by the healthcare team. Care planning for individuals who are nearing end-of-life requires unique considerations. This course outlines the impact of care planning in end-of-life care, especially for older adults. Without this knowledge and understanding, direct care staff may not be able to effectively address the needs of individuals at end of life.
