PERSON-CENTERED CARE is an approach to care that respects and values the uniqueness of the individual, and seeks to maintain, even restore, the personhood of individuals.
We do this by creating an environment that promotes:

Tom Kitwood (1937-1998 ) was a British social psychologist and psychogerontologist, author of the theory of person-centered care approach; together with Kathleen Bredin, he developed the method of Dementia Care Mapping.
Having negative image of adults with a disability.
Example: “Over the Hill” birthday cards and in terms of people with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities, “retarded” jokes or the assumption that they are incapable of doing anything at all..
Behavior by one person that limits another’s freedom or autonomy.
Example: Staff make a participant stop playing cards and join in a Trivia game which the staff is leading and is a favorite of the staff.

21
Institution-Directed vs. Person-Directed Care:
What is the difference?
22
Institution-Directed Culture
Schedules and routines are designed by the facility and staff, and individuals must comply.
There is a hospital environment.
Staff provides standardized "treatments" based upon medical diagnosis.
Decision-making is centralized.
As long as staff know how to perform a task, they can
perform it "on any patient" in the facility.
There is a sense of
isolation and loneliness.
Work is task-oriented and staff rotates assignments.
Structured activities are available when the activity director or other activity staff are on duty.
Institution-Directed Culture
From the Pioneer Network website http://www.pioneernetwork.net/Providers/Comparisons/
Staff is disengaged
23
Person-Directed Culture
The staff has relationships with the individuals so that
they know their lifelong habits and honor them.
Individuals make decisions every day about their individual routines.
The staff organizes their schedules and assignments to meet the needs of the individuals they care for.
Person-Directed Culture
The staff makes decisions every day and is empowered.

Person-Centered Care: A Review
Relationship means knowing the individuals.This starts with their preferences for care, their daily routines, etc. It also means getting to know individuals on a deeper level (their history, their stories, etc)

EDEN ALTERNATIVE PRINCIPLESThe three plagues of Boredom, Loneliness, and Helplessness account
for the bulk of suffering among our clients. *The words create an acronym B L and H BLaH
A Person-centered community commits to creating a Human Habitat where life revolves around close and continuous contact with plants, animals, and children. It is these relationships that provide the young
and old alike with a pathway towards a life worth living.A Person-centered community imbues daily life with variety and spontaneity by creating an environment in which unexpected and
unpredictable interactions and happenings can take place. This is the antidote to boredom.
Clients deserve easy access to human and animal companionship. Loving companionship is the antidote to loneliness.
A Person-centered community creates opportunity to give as well as receive care. This is the antidote to helplessness.
Meaningless activity corrodes the human spirit. The opportunity to do things we find meaningful is essential to human health.
Medical treatment should be the servant of genuine care, never its master.
A Person-centered community honors its individuals by de-emphasizing top down bureaucratic authority, seeking instead to place the maximum decision making authority into the hands of the Clients
to care professionals.
Creating a Person-Centered community is a never ending process.
29
The Values and Principles of the Pioneer Network

Social inclusionA socially inclusive society is defined as one where all people feel valued, their differences are respected, and their basic needs are met so they can live in dignity.
Social exclusion is the process of being shut out from the social, economic, political and cultural systems which contribute to the integration of a person into
the community (Cappo 2002).
The Values that Underpin Social Inclusion developed by Scottish Human Services Trust (2005)Everyone Is Ready
None of us has to pass a test or meet a set of criteria before we can be included.
Everyone Can LearnAs human beings we all grow and change and make mistakes: and we
are all capable of learning.
Everyone Needs SupportSometimes some of us need more support than others.
Everyone Can CommunicateNot using words doesn’t mean we don’t have anything to say.
Everyone Can ContributeWe need to recognize, encourage and value each person’s
contributions - including our own.
Together We Are BetterWe are not dreaming of a world where everyone is like us - difference
is our most important renewable resource.
31
Servant Leadership
Servant-leader focuses on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which
they belong. While traditional leadership commonly involves the accumulation and exercise of power by the person at the “top of the pyramid,”
servant leadership is different.
The servant-leader shares power, places the needs of others first, and helps people develop
and perform as highly as possible.
-Check your ego at the door(Rooted in Robert K Greenleaf’s work in the Center for Servant Leadership)

Mr. Carter was only ten years old in 1950 when he was committed to a state training school. He had picked up a brick and threw it at a child, who was Caucasian, who was teasing him. Mr. Carter, who was African American was “slow” and had little family support.
In the 1990’s, he was identified as misplaced in a state training school and was going to return to the community. A social worker contacted me to see if we could serve him. I immediately said yes and shared the information with the staff. The staff’s reaction was strong and I was told, “We do not accept the mentally retarded.”I was two years into the job and was unaware of any such procedure. What would you do in my place?
A. Contact the social worker and relate that we are unable to accept him in our program at this time
B. Reinforce my leadership and authority and express that we are going to do things differently now that I am in charge.
C. Tell the back story of Mr. Carter and build a connection.

• Create an atmosphere that celebrates the vision and mission
• Solicit input from all stakeholders, caregivers, staff, volunteers, individuals, donors, regulators
• Build a high energy work force
• Model expectations
• Provide support to Professional Caregivers
• Serve as the Cheerleader for all
• Be a visionary
*David Pitonyak, Issue Action Planning: Promoting Responsive Human Services
Leaders must lead* •Ask work force, in small groups, to develop a set of values that describe the work culture, ask each person to bring in an object that best represents their belief system and then ask them to explain it. Use this to formulate the values for their agency.
•Maintain an “open door policy”
•Roll up your sleeves, help staff do their work, work with individuals
•Build ownership
•Keep staff informed, have lots of meetings and talk about “Our Business”
•Know everyone’s name
•Develop wellness teams for staff and let them decide what strategies they want to work on for their health
•Make coming to work fun, something to look forward to
Practical Strategies
34
• Create a culture that values every voice, every opinion
• Listen, Listen, Listen! especially when it is hard to hear!
• Encourage “dreams” and wishes
• Build trust, build teamwork
• Drive our fear
• Focus on the sincere belief that all employees are capable, honest, trustworthy and very capable.
• Manage by consensus and build decision making from the “bottom up”. The people closest to the individuals know the situation best and can with support and confidence from the manager, make best decisions
• Reinforce identification with mission
Leaders must empower staff
• Frequently ask for suggestions and be sure to act on some
• Form self-directed work teams to carry out important work i.e. Wellness program, customer satisfaction team
• Compliment staff on good work

• Ask for input and involvement on policies/procedures before you issue a “regulation”
Practical Strategies
35
• Reinforce accomplishments

• Create reflections
• Create fun
Leaders must create celebrations
• Develop contests such as mission moments where staff are divided into teams to create a visual depiction of the Mission Statement/Values (Quilt, sculpture, DVD)
• Give kudos at staff meetings
• Write personal handwritten notes from CEO
• Celebrate everyone’s birthday
• Know your employee’s family, who is graduating, who has grandchildren
• Have “All Hands on Deck” meetings quarterly and celebrate staff’s family’s milestones, “shout out” on graduations, births, etc.
Practical Strategies
36
Lessons Learned
A successful work culture starts with
the interview, hiring process.
Staff needs to be constantly and
repeatedly grounded in the agency’s
mission and vision.
Performance Appraisals and evaluations reflect each employee’s ability to support the mission, values of organization.
Managers must “walk the walk” – not just “talk the
talk”.

Hannah Green is forty five and has been working at A Grace Place for over ten years. She works in the program that supports adults with intellectual disabilities and has a very good work record. She is a valued employee and is well liked by her peers, and the individuals she supports.
When Hannah heard at a staff meeting that the agency was going to offer training in LGBT in long term care and that attendance was compulsory, she became very concerned. Her supervisor overheard her say to her peers that she “was not going to attend even if it cost her, her job.”
How would you handle this?
A. Talk with the employee and allow her to be absent based on the strong religious objections she expressed.
B. Require her to be present.
C. Take no action and see what she does
D. Open up a dialogue with the employee and see where “the middle” is
50
Lessons Learned
People connect with real stories of real
people and this connection is vital to
overcoming prejudices and discrimination.
People accept individuals when they have an opportunity to
know them, identify with them.
Assumptions can be broken down
individual by individual.
51
Caregiver: “That’s okay,
sometimes it takes me a while to get my
words out, too!”
Client: “I’m sorry. Sometimes it takes a while for me to get my words out…”
Get to know their back-stories: who they were, who they are, and who they would like to be. They are more than diagnoses.
KNOW THE INDIVIDUAL
52
A hallmark of PCC is empowering the individual. It may take more effort initially, but will reap rewards in the long run.
Honor their individual experiences. Listen to who they are. Understand who they were, who they are and who they want to be. Learn to listen.
EMPOWER
53
Honor who they were, their rituals, their occupations, their roles. Role transition is one of the most difficult parts of aging or change in cognitive status. Our roles are engrained into our essence. Into our being. Supporting the maintenance of these roles supports PCC and positive health outcomes.
SUPPORT ROLE TRANSITIONS

56
A Person-Centered Response to Each Professional Caregiver
Keep the engines running!
• Within a work team model, staff can take a break when they need it and the collective team steps in until the professional caregiver returns
• Everyone is willing to do 2 on 1, supervisors are always willing to switch sides if support is needed
Respite!
• A Grace Place offers 3 weeks of annual vacation, holidays and 3 hours of sick leave accrued bi-weekly
57
A Person-Centered Response to Each Family’s Needs
Caregiver Support• is essential to PCC. They spend as
much time with their loved one as we do and can often provide information that is vital to their well-being.

Telephone Support for Caregivers
58
How Does Such a Village Lead to A Caring Response?
“The individuals- you get attached, it’s hard not to. To us, we’re family to them. A lot of them don’t have any other family. This is all they know- it is their home away from home.” -AGP staff member
“I love helping them discover something they didn’t realize they could do. Like handing money to a cashier. Or ordering their own meal when they are out. You’d think it was Christmas.” -AGP staff member
A family of friends
Home away from home
Encouraging that one-on-
one relationship
Sharing and delighting in
the accomplishments of each
individual
59
How to Build a Village of Support: Team-Building and Servant Leadership Practices
Know your care team of care professionals like you know the clients• “We know each
other’s hardships and help work around them.” –AGP staff member
Have strong executive and management support and leadership• If a care professional
comes to management with a problem, listen, take notes, rearticulate out loud what is being said to you, to ensure that you understand.
Be flexible
Have team meetings and
consistent communication
60
The Physical Environment of AGP’s Village
Note the centralized intake area and the needs-based compartmentalization combined with a good amount of outdoor space.

Change requires extra time and commitment of an
already over-whelmed work force and can be exhausting
and cause stress.
Communication between
departments can be daunting.
Governmental regulations and policies may require additional
effort and demand creativity.
On-going training and support of staff
are vital to success.
Staff may lack self-confidence and emotional
support needed to change/embrace new
ideas.
Reflection and Evaluation among
individuals and work teams may be inconsistent
Will we lose clients? Will we lose staff?
Positive health outcome for individuals
Higher work satisfaction for
employees
More effective work teams
Purposeful living for
individuals
