What exactly is “person-centred” care?

It is a programme of care that is tailored to an individual’s needs. Because no two people are the same it is impossible to apply the same care to everyone. If offers individuals greater independence. With freedom of choice and expression comes better wellbeing. It is reviewed on a monthly basis and both you and your family are invited to take an active part in this ongoing conversation.
