Best Interests Decision Making

Best Interests Decision Making is a process used by professionals and caregivers to choose the most appropriate action for someone who may not be able to make decisions for themselves, often due to health or cognitive reasons. It involves considering their well-being, rights, and preferences, and consulting with those close to them. The goal is to act in a way that maximizes their benefits and minimizes harm, ensuring decisions are fair, respectful, and tailored to their individual needs and circumstances. This approach helps protect vulnerable individuals while respecting their dignity.
