Individualized Service Plans
A written service plan is required and must be completed within 14 calendar days after the resident’s date of acceptance and must be developed with assistance and review from:
- The resident or resident’s representative.
- The facility manager, and
- Any individual requested by the resident or the resident’s representative.
The written service plan must include the following:
- A description of the resident’s medical or health conditions, including physical, behavioral, cognitive, or functional conditions or impairments.
- The level of service the resident is expected to receive.
- The amount, type, and frequency of services that will be provided to the resident, including medication administration or assistance in the self-administration of medication.

Development of the Individualized Service Plan
Individual Autonomy and Choice:
Residents drive their own schedules and make decisions based on their individual circumstances.
The residents often change or modify their daily activities. Residents and families are included in the development of the care plan and individualized service plans.
Plans are based on personal preference as well as assessed needs to promote the health and welfare of the individual.
Some of the barriers to meeting the federal rule are that compliance, planning, and implementation of plans depends on deep understanding of, and ongoing commitment to, the individual being supported.

Residents set their own schedules and adjust daily activities based on their needs and preferences. Providers learn to develop individualized service plans that incorporate resident and family input while promoting health and well-being.

Evaluation Process
