Abstract

This manual explains how the information gathered from the assessment of the care needs of older people trigger Client Assessment Protocols (CAPs). These are guidelines for best practice-in care planning and service delivery which correspond to aspects of daily living in the community, and it is likely that, on average, a person requiring community care services will trigger about ten of these, CAPs relate to the following categories: functional performance; sensory performance including communication disorders; mental health issues including cognition, depression and older person abuse; health aspects including cardio-respiratory problems, dehydration, falls, pressure ulcers and skin conditions; service oversight including palliative care and medication management; and continence.
