  Care Plans? DIY! Care plans are an essential part of Social Care and Health. The law says, and authorities insist, that your needs will be met if it's in your care plan.  A lot of issues can be solved by making sure you have a comprehensive and detailed care plan.  I'm not talking about the one that the Social Services do; Meaning well, Social Services tend to miss the point often and don't note down everything you raise. There are often numerous mistakes, regardless of talks about person centered or personalisation. Too often the pressure is on staff members to try and make sure people get minimum care, due to financial pressures on the services.  One of the biggest issues that I see is that a trained person is sent out to do your assessment, and they may agree on your needs at the time but are subsequently overruled by managers or panel members who've never met you.  Getting a care plan or a visit from the services can leave people waiting weeks or even months.
