Understanding Assessments and Careplanning for Caregivers
This course explains what assessments are, who conducts them, and how care plans are created. Caregivers will learn how their daily notes and observations feed into the reassessment process and support individualized, client-centered care. Examples from dementia care illustrate how assessments must adapt as cognition changes. Learners will also practice identifying when to report observations so supervisors can adjust the care plan.
