A person centred care approach ‘considers the needs of a person as a whole, this including their physical, social and psychological needs’. This means that a person is seen as an individual and the care that they will receive is ‘not to or for them but in partnership with them’. (The Open University, 2014, p. 90). Person centred care, allows the individual and their families to be involved in the care that they are receiving. Person centred care services should ‘offer flexibility and should be promoting independence’ and allowing that person to have an input in any decisions being made. (The Open University, 2014, p. 90). This essay is going to focus on the positive impacts that person centred care has on the provision of care.
