The importance of person-centred care

In this blog post (opens new window), Helen Brown, an experienced Occupational Therapist and PhD researcher, delves into the complexities of providing person-centred housing solutions for older adults.

The Department of Health and Social Care (2021) define person-centred care as being able to provide “genuine choice and control about personalised care and support”, which can “enhance quality of life and promote independence in a way that matters to individuals.”

The blog aims to discuss the extent to which housing services can be person-centred from the perspective of older people who need housing and related support in later life.
