hooldekava

Hooldekava is an Estonian term that translates to "care plan" or "support plan." It refers to a documented strategy designed to ensure the well-being and safety of an individual, particularly those who may require assistance due to age, disability, illness, or other challenging life circumstances.

A hooldekava is typically developed by a multidisciplinary team, which may include social workers, healthcare professionals, family members, and the individual themselves. The plan outlines the specific needs of the person and details the services and support that will be provided to meet those needs. This can encompass a wide range of provisions, such as personal care assistance, medication management, therapeutic interventions, social activities, and financial support.

The primary goal of a hooldekava is to promote the individual's quality of life, independence as much as possible, and dignity. It aims to coordinate services effectively, prevent crises, and ensure that the person receives appropriate and timely care. The plan is usually reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in the individual's condition or circumstances, ensuring that it remains relevant and effective. In essence, a hooldekava serves as a roadmap for providing comprehensive and personalized support.
