Frequently Asked Questions

What is person-centered care?

This approach enhances quality of life by considering emotional, social, and physical well-being.

How does person-centered care differ from traditional care?

How do caregivers implement person-centered care?

Caregivers take the time to understand each individual’s history, interests, and personal preferences.
