About Centered Care
Person-centered care is a relationship-based approach to nursing home care that honors and respects the voice of elders and those working closest with them.
It involves a continuing process of listening, trying new things, seeing how they work, and changing things in an effort to individualize care and de-institutionalize the nursing home environment.
Person-centered care is not about more forms, more lists, more reporting, or more work.
It is about finding a decent and kind way to serve older adults that makes their lives and the lives of their caregivers more meaningful,
a common-sense approach to bringing care back into caregiving at the nursing home and enriching the lives of those that live and work there.
Principles and values of person-centered care
- Every person has strengths, gifts, and contributions to offer.
- Every person has hopes, dreams and desires.
- Each person is the primary authority on his or her life, along with those who them.
- Every person has the ability to express preferences and to make choices.
- A person's choices and preferences shall always be considered.
THIS is what we strive to help facilities with education, tools and resources to provide!
