Goal setting for
service users

A guide for carers in how to design effective, person-centred goals

Introduction

Lack of person-centred care. No consistency in record-keeping. Poor resident satisfaction in the long term. 

These are just some of the potential consequences when you don’t create tangible, tailored goals for the service users in your care home. 

But changes to CQC regulations mean that it’s never been more essential for care home providers to proactively set and evidence goals that make it easier to deliver person-centred care in the long-term.

Care managers can use this guide to:

  • Work with service users in setting goals that are empowering, motivating and lead to long-term health and wellbeing 
  • Align their care provision to the CQC’s new single assessment framework 
  • Easily demonstrate evidence of truly person-centred care

We’ve also included exclusive insights from care home managers who are already using Log my Care to design and set goals that enable person-centred, holistic care. 

In Chapter 1, we’ll explore the benefits of goal setting in care environments and how it can significantly improve quality of life. 

In Chapter 2, we’ll explain how you can create the necessary systems to ensure your service user’s goals become a reality. 

In Chapter 3, we’ll explain how you can effectively implement and track your agreed goals with a digital care solution. 

In Chapter 4, we’ll walk you through how to maintain regulatory compliance with CQC standards, and why it’s important to maintain the proper documentation. 

Finally, Chapter 5 explains how to future-proof your goal setting strategy, setting you up for long-term success.
