Person-centered Care Planning Action Checklist People respond best when they’re involved in making decisions about their lives. Person-centered care puts the person at the center and understands every person is unique. Person-centered care always involves the person and views the person as an equal. Person-centered care focuses on a person’s strengths, not their weaknesses. A person-centered care plan may include unique approaches to mealtimes, living environments and level of risk. A person-centered care plan gets input from the whole care team. Mental health experts are important partners in helping you develop person-centered care plans. Psychologists, Psychiatrists and Mental Health Social Workers have special training to help you identify behavior triggers and strategies to reduce unhealthy actions.
