To provide continuity of care. 

A care plan conference is a meeting between the nursing home staff, the resident, and the resident’s family to set measurable, specific goals for the resident to meet during their stay, decide what needs to be done to meet those goals, and decide who in the nursing home is responsible for performing each job necessary to help the resident. The main purpose of this meeting is to provide continuity of care, which means ensuring that the resident receives consistent and coordinated care across different settings and providers.
