This manual explains how the information gathered from the assessment of the care needs of older people trigger Client Assessment Protocols (CAPs). These are guidelines for best practice in care planning and service delivery which correspond to aspects of daily living in the community, and it is likely that, on average, a person requiring community care services will trigger about ten of these. CAPs relate to the following categories: functional performance; sensory performance including communication disorders; mental health issues including cognition, depression and older person abuse; health aspects including cardio-respiratory problems, dehydration, falls, pressure ulcers and skin conditions; service oversight including palliative care and medication management; and continence.
