When It Is Used

Use it in later PDI when household expectations need to be made explicit and connected to consistent caregiver responses.

Revision History

Plan revisions should preserve enough version context to know the current plan and what changed over time.

Limits

The tool does not invent rules, prescribe consequences, score rule quality, or add unrelated household management modules.

Who creates the house rules?

The practitioner and caregiver create them collaboratively; the system structures the plan but does not invent the rules.

What makes a rule incomplete?

A rule remains incomplete when it is too vague or lacks a linked caregiver response.

Are exceptions part of the plan?

Yes. Known adherence problems or exceptions can be captured without replacing the main rule.
