Aged Care Standard Two: Ongoing assessment & planning with consumers
This Standard describes what organisations need to do to plan care and services with consumers. The planned care and services should meet each consumer’s needs, goals and preferences and optimise their health and well-being. While a consumer might have some challenges with their health and abilities, they still have goals they want to achieve, roles that have meaning, and want to live as well as they can.
