"A good plan starts with how someone likes their morning, not with a checklist."Dana Whitfield, Care Coordinator
- Every visit starts with how the person is feeling today.
- Routines and preferences are written into the plan.
- Families hear about good days and harder ones.
- Questions about health go to the person's own doctor.
