WHY IS A PERSON CENTRED APPROACH IMPORTANT WHEN MAXIMISING THE PROGRESSION OF SUPPORT FOR OUR RESIDENTS?
A person-centred approach is crucial in supported living for several reasons:
👉Individual Needs and Preferences:
It focuses on the unique needs, preferences, and goals of each tenant, ensuring that support is tailored to them rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
👉Empowerment and Autonomy:
By involving tenants in decision-making, they feel empowered and more in control of their lives, which can enhance their motivation and engagement in the support process.
👉Holistic Support:
This approach considers all aspects of a tenant’s life, including emotional, social, and physical needs, leading to more comprehensive support.
👉Improved Outcomes:
When support aligns with a person’s aspirations, it can lead to better outcomes in terms of satisfaction, wellbeing, and independence.
👉Building Relationships:
A person-centred approach fosters strong relationships between tenants and support staff, creating a trustful and supportive environment.
👉Flexibility:
It allows for adjustments to support as tenants’ needs change over time, ensuring that support remains relevant and effective.
Overall, prioritising the individual's perspective in supported living enhances their quality of life and promotes meaningful progress.
