SAMPLE POLICY WORK

regulatory standards. • Fosters the empowerment of individuals through active involvement, personal choice, and transparency in decision-making. • Provides standardized protocols for comprehensive assessments, plan development, periodic review, and revision processes — thereby creating a robust and auditable record of care planning. Rationale At Simpl Care Services LLC, the development of an ISP is more than a bureaucratic requirement; it is a dynamic, interactive process that serves as the foundation for high- quality, individualized care. By ensuring that every ISP is based on a thorough assessment and reflective of a person’s direct input and input from family members, caregivers, and professionals, we increase overall service effectiveness and promote positive health and well-being outcomes. A comprehensive ISP ensures that every client receives the right mix of services to support independence, community integration, and personal fulfillment. b. Person-Centered Planning Process The ISP Development process follows a person-centered planning framework that actively involves the individual and their support network throughout every phase. This approach emphasizes respect for personal autonomy and ensures that services are designed around the client’s personal goals, preferences, and unique strengths.

Core Principles •

Individual Choice and Control: The planning process is anchored in the belief that individuals have the right to make decisions about their own care and the services they receive. This principle is respected by involving clients, their families, and support teams in every decision. Holistic Assessment: A comprehensive assessment of the individual’s emotional, physical, social, and cognitive needs forms the foundation of the ISP. Such assessments use validated tools and methods to obtain an accurate, multidimensional picture of the client’s situation. Collaborative Decision Making: The planning process brings together multidisciplinary teams — including clinicians, care coordinators, direct support professionals, family members, and, most importantly, the individual — to collaboratively design the ISP. Flexibility and Adaptability: Recognizing that an individual’s needs may change over time, the ISP is designed as a living document that is regularly reviewed and revised. Periodic reassessments ensure that the plan adapts to new challenges, growth, or transitions in care.
