What is the purpose of the 'support plan' in the care program?

• A. The services the person will not receive
• B. The person’s map for reaching goals and the supports the worker must provide
• C. The location of service providers
• D. The budget for care

Answer: (B)

The main idea behind the support plan is that it serves as a personalized roadmap for the person’s growth and daily supports. It clearly states the person’s goals and the specific supports the worker will provide to help reach those goals. This keeps everyone on the same page, guiding what to do, when to do it, and why, so progress can be tracked and plans adjusted as needed. It’s about building skills, independence, and safety through coordinated, consistent care.

It’s not about listing services the person will not receive, locating service providers, or presenting the care budget. Those aspects live in other documents or parts of the program, while the support plan focuses on what the person is working toward and the concrete supports to get there.
