Frequently Asked Questions
Person-centred care focuses on the individual’s unique needs, preferences, and experiences, involving them actively in planning and decisions to promote dignity, independence, and wellbeing.
It helps individuals feel valued and listened to, improves confidence and skills, supports informed decision-making, and leads to better relationships and outcomes for individuals, families, and staff.
Dignity means treating each person with respect, valuing their worth, protecting privacy, gaining consent, and supporting choice, regardless of age, disability, or capacity.
Carers can provide clear information, offer choices, adapt communication, choose the right time, and create a non-judgmental environment so individuals can participate as fully as possible.
