Person-Centered Care in Aging

Person-Centered Care in aging focuses on respecting and valuing each older adult’s unique preferences, needs, and life experiences. Instead of treating them just as patients or numbers, this approach involves actively listening to their wishes, involving them in decisions, and tailoring care to suit their individual circumstances. It promotes dignity, independence, and emotional well-being, fostering a supportive environment where seniors feel valued and empowered. This philosophy recognizes that aging is a personal journey, and quality care should honor each person’s identity and choices.
