Been trying to get electronic copy of care plan and risk assessments.
I have told them that as the resident has lost capacity and I have Welfare Power of Attorney that I should have access under provisions of Care Act 2014 & Mental Capacity Act 2005.
They are happy to let me see it at the home but are resisting providing a copy.
As the care plan runs to over 50 pages not sure this is the best way to review the documentation.
I have no problems with the Care provided but felt that I ought to see what is written down.
Any ideas for legal justification for getting copy as I suppose they are giving me access.
Additional questions that come to mind is wondering what format should a care plan be in. To me a 50 page document is a good way to cover everything but in reality would be a useless document to use.
I know from briefly looking at it that there are factual errors. The home acts brilliantly but have feeling care plan is a tick box rather than a useful tool to ensure proper care. I suppose i have feeling care plans don't have any real value.
