Care Goals

“For all caregivers and leadership involved in providing or managing care, learn the continuum of care for the person’s healthcare goals. In British Columbia’s home and community care settings, understanding these goals helps caregivers align their support with the person’s care plan, preferences, and changing needs. Even if the caregiver is not a “medical” or “healthcare” aide, the person’s needs for a sitter, homemaker, companion, or any type of aide are most likely driven by their health condition and goals.

This continuum of care includes: Curative Goals; Rehabilitative Goals; Life-Prolonging Goals; and Comfort Care Goals.”
