Common use of Care Services Clause in Contracts

Care Services. 1.1 Prior to admission the Home’s General Manager or another member of the Home’s team will carry out an assessment of the care needs of the Resident. From this assessment a Service Fee will be calculated based on the needs of the Resident. 1.2 Within 7 days after admission, the Home’s General Manager or another member of the Home’s team, working with (so far as practicable) the Resident, family and others who have been involved with the Resident’s care, will carry out a full assessment of the care needs of the Resident and formulate a Care Plan (“Care Plan”) and may adjust the Service Fee accordingly. 1.3 The Care Plan will be reviewed regularly to monitor the effectiveness of the care delivered against the Care Plan and whether it remains appropriate for the needs of the Resident. The Home may then adjust the Care Plan as appropriate (again with, so far as practicable, the Resident, family and others who have been involved with the Resident’s care) and may adjust the Service Fee accordingly. 1.4 When the Resident arranges for a Medical Practitioner to visit, the Home will, where practical, facilitate the visits. Similarly, when the Resident is accessing NHS services, the Home will endeavour to assist, including assisting with the supply of NHS medication.
