Individual Service Plan Participation
 

Wording should be very clear that facilities must make efforts to involve family members or legal representatives when the Individual Service Plan (ISP) is developed or reviewed.  Also recommend requiring the facility to notify the family members and/or legal representatives whenever the service plan is updated.  This will ensure residents, particularly those with dementia, are not signing what they do not understand.
