Understanding Person-Centred Care
At For Care, person-centered care is more than just a buzzword – it’s our guiding principle. It means recognising that each individual has unique needs, preferences, and aspirations. Person-centered care shifts the focus from the disability to the person, ensuring that support services are tailored to their individuality, and that their voice is heard every step of the way.
For Care is committed to putting people first. We believe that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and personalized support.
Putting People First Means:
Valuing and Respecting Individuality
At For Care, we take the time to truly get to know the people we support – their dreams, passions, strengths, and challenges. This deep understanding forms the foundation of our support, allowing us to provide personalised care that honours your identity and uniqueness.
Active Listening and Collaboration
We believe that people should be involved in decisions regarding their support. We actively listen to your desires, concerns, and goals, and collaborate with you to develop a support plan that meets your specific needs. It’s a partnership built on trust, transparency, and shared decision-making.
Tailored Support Plans
Person-centered care means that no two support plans are alike. We work closely with you to create a customised support plan that reflects your aspirations and aligns with the way you like to do things. From daily routines to long-term goals, your wishes are at the forefront of the planning process.
Flexibility and Adaptability
Life is dynamic, and so are your needs and goals. Person-centered care allows us to adapt and flexibly adjust support services as circumstances change. We continuously reassess and modify plans to ensure they remain responsive to your evolving needs.
Empowering Independence
We believe in empowering our customers to lead independent and fulfilling lives. Person-centered care promotes autonomy and self-determination, empowering you to make choices that align with your values and aspirations. We provide the necessary tools, resources, and support to help you achieve your goals and exercise your independence.
Continuous Communication and Feedback
Open and ongoing communication is a vital component of person-centered care. We actively seek feedback from you and your support network to ensure that our services meet your expectations and needs. Regular check-ins and reviews allow us to fine-tune our support, ensuring it remains person-centered and responsive.
The Impact of Person-Centred Care:
Enhanced Quality of Life
When you’re at the centre of your care, you’re empowered to live a life filled with purpose, dignity, and fulfillment, enhancing your overall well-being and quality of life.
Improved Self-Advocacy Skills
Through person-centered care, you can learn to advocate for yourself and articulate your needs and desires. You can develop confidence and assertiveness, so you can navigate your support journey more effectively.
Trust and Connection
We believe person-centered care is the best way to foster trust and build meaningful connections between you and your support team. It creates an environment of compassion, empathy, and genuine care, nurturing a sense of safety and belonging.
Empowerment and Independence
By tailoring support to your strengths, interests, and aspirations, person-centered care empowers you to take ownership of your life. It promotes independence, self-sufficiency, and the ability to make informed choices.
At For Care, person-centered care is not just a philosophy – it’s at the heart of everything we do. By putting people first, we ensure that their needs, preferences, and aspirations are honored and respected. Contact Us to find out more about disability support tailored especially for you.
