The OSDP Counselor and Nurse have the responsibility to ensure the consumer's health and safety and develop a Plan of Care (POC) that includes all necessary elements to adequately meet the consumer's needs. Use of informal supports, third party resources and other community resources are an integral part of the overall development of the POC. The use of third party resources ensures the most cost-effective and efficient use of funds to meet the individual's needs.
The Counselor must inform the family member or other non-paid supports of the importance of their contribution toward the Plan of Care.
