Crossword Genius

At home, taking care of planning (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intending

'planning' is the definition.
(intending is a kind of planning)

'at home taking care' is the wordplay.
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'taking' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'care' becomes 'tending' (synonyms).
'in'+'tending'='INTENDING'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intending that I've seen before include "Meaning; planning" , "Planning, proposing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
