Family involvement
Care Plus NJ believes that the involvement of a patient’s family and/or supports often is an important part of providing effective treatment and recovery.
It is the patient’s right to determine whether they want to include family and supports in their treatment (which may be revoked at any time).
If desired, their staff will clearly review policy and processes for involvement with you.
Input from family members will be sought and encouraged as permitted.
Family members may be included in goal-setting and planning treatment if the treatment team believes that including the family would be a benefit.
Their goal is for families/natural supports to be able to function in a supportive, healthy and stress-free manner.
