My Moving and Assisting Care and Support Plan
Please use the information above to create a detailed plan that details how the individual is to be supported and assisted with their mobility. If cared for in bed, please specify the times of day that support is required, such as am/ lunch/teatime/ pm. Please add if there have been any referrals made due to falls or mobility issues. It is also good practice to take photos of the specific equipment used and a to create a log of checks and audits e.g. slings are not frayed or broken.
