Care plans are at the heart of delivering quality care. Skedulr makes it easy to create detailed, shareable plans that carers can access on every visit.

Step 1: Navigate to Clients

Go to Clients in the sidebar and select the client you'd like to create a plan for, or add a new client first.

Step 2: Open Care Plan

Click the Care Plan tab on the client's profile page. Then click Create Care Plan.

Step 3: Add Sections

A care plan typically includes:

  • Personal Details — name, date of birth, emergency contacts
  • Health Conditions — current diagnoses, medications, allergies
  • Daily Tasks — morning routine, meals, personal care, mobility
  • Preferences — how the client likes things done
  • Risk Assessments — falls risk, skin integrity, medication management

Step 4: Assign & Share

Once your plan is complete:

  1. Click Save & Publish
  2. The care plan becomes available to all carers assigned to this client
  3. Carers can view it in the mobile app before and during visits

Keeping Plans Up to Date

  • Review care plans at least monthly or after any significant change
  • Use the revision history to track what changed and when
  • Carers can flag updates from the mobile app if they notice something during a visit
