Prepare the discussion about goals, services and budget with an older person. This worksheet complements the provider’s required records. It is not a funding decision, official statement or replacement service agreement.

What is in the download

Person-centred care discussion

Person and review. What matters. Assessed needs. Agreed services. Risks and continuity. Coordination. Review triggers.

Budget discussion worksheet

Period and funding source. Available amount. Planned costs. Participant contributions. Other items. Actual spending and commitments. Reconciliation. Agreed next steps.

How to use it

  1. Save a working copy and replace the bracketed prompts. Remove sections that do not apply.
  2. Involve the person in the discussion and use their preferred communication format.
  3. Verify dates, contacts and source records. Clearly attribute information supplied by someone else.
  4. Record who completed the document and when. Make later corrections traceable.
  5. Share only necessary information with the appropriate recipient and retain the record securely.

Before you rely on it

Check the current program guidance and the person’s actual funding before entering amounts. The Word worksheet does not calculate totals. Use the Department of Health’s service agreement template and monthly statement example for those separate documents. Do not treat an older Home Care Package form as a current Support at Home agreement.

Once your paperwork is ready, create your Carevo profile. Describe your services, location and availability, then check relevant enquiry access and current plan terms in the app.
