Person-centered Care - You should feel at home wherever you are.
 
 
Person-centered care (PCC) is a philosophical approach to long term 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 nursing homes, residential care facilities, assisted living facilities, and in long term care services(like home health care) provided in individuals' homes in the community.
 
In person-centered care the individual has the right to:
  • make decisions
  • have an individual plan of care
  • Be included on the care planning team (with the provider (such as the nursing home or home care program)
  • Have MY hopes, dreams and goals be central to my plan
