# Care Plan
A care plan is a way to help a person ensure continued good health.
This document is a free open source care plan template. Our family is creating and using this template for our elderly parents who have Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and cancer.
Constructive advice welcome: [email protected].
## What is the goal of a care plan?
The goal of a care plan is to help a person thrive:
* Improve the person's quality of life, health, and wellness.
* Support the person's independence and abilities for daily life tasks.
* Mitigate the person's risks of hospitalization or institutionalization.
* Create mutual understanding among a person's family members, friends, and providers.
* Help each participant have a better understanding of their role and responsibilities.
## Care for yourself too
Be aware that care is challenging:
* Parents may not cooperate or understand. That gets really hard and can burn people out.
* Children may not cooperate or understand. That gets really complex and can interfere with care.
* Providers may not be what you expect. That gets really confusing and can cause mistakes and errors.
