Person Centred Approach
Our Person-Centred Care Approach
What is Person-Centred Care?
Key Elements of Person-Centred Care:
Understanding and Respect: We take the time to truly understand each individual we support – their preferences, interests, cultural background, and life experiences. By valuing their unique identity and perspective, we create a supportive environment built on mutual respect and dignity.
Collaborative Planning: We believe in collaborative decision-making, involving the individual we support, their family members, advocates, and any other relevant stakeholders in the care planning process. Together, we develop personalised support plans that reflect the individual’s goals, aspirations, and needs.
Empowerment and Choice: Person-centred care is about empowering individuals to make informed choices and take control of their care journey. Whether it’s choosing their daily activities, meal preferences, or participating in decision-making about their support, we prioritise autonomy and self-determination.
Flexible and Responsive Support: We understand that needs and preferences may change over time. Our approach is flexible and responsive, adapting to the evolving needs and preferences of the individual. We regularly review support plans, gather feedback, and adjust our support to ensure it remains person-centred.
Promoting Independence: We believe in promoting independence and enabling individuals to live as autonomously as possible. Our support focuses on building skills, confidence, and resilience, empowering individuals to engage in activities of daily living and pursue their interests and hobbies.
Holistic Wellbeing: Person-centred care goes beyond addressing physical needs – it encompasses emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing. We provide holistic support that considers the individual’s emotional and psychosocial needs, fostering a sense of belonging, connection, and fulfilment.
Outcomes We Aim to Achieve:
Enhanced Quality of Life: Our ultimate goal is to enhance the overall quality of life for the individuals we support. By prioritising their preferences, promoting independence, and fostering meaningful connections, we strive to create environments where they feel valued, respected, and fulfilled.
Improved Health and Wellbeing: Person-centred care supports the holistic wellbeing of individuals, addressing not just physical health but also mental, emotional, and social needs. We aim to promote positive health outcomes, reduce stress, and enhance overall wellbeing.
Empowerment and Self-Advocacy: Through collaborative decision-making and choice, we empower individuals to advocate for their own needs and preferences. Our support builds self-confidence, self-awareness, and self-advocacy skills, enabling individuals to actively participate in their care and support planning.
Stronger Relationships Person-centred care fosters meaningful relationships built on trust, respect, and understanding. By involving individuals, families, and support networks in the care process, we strengthen connections and promote a sense of belonging and community.
Increased Satisfaction: We measure success not only by clinical outcomes but also by the satisfaction and happiness of the individuals we support. Our person-centred approach aims to exceed expectations, ensuring that individuals feel listened to, valued, and supported in achieving their goals and aspirations.
