In short
- Every client has a written service plan that says exactly what to do. Read it before your first visit and follow it every time.
- Do not add or skip tasks on your own. Ask your supervisor first.
- The supervisor completes the plan within seven working days of the first service, and reviews it at each supervisory visit (every 62 days for nursing).
- For a medically frail client, a registered nurse completes the first plan.
- Tell your supervisor if the plan no longer fits what the client needs.

- This client is medically frail. Show me that a registered nurse completed the initial service plan.
