Person-centred care starts with the individual, not the task list. Here is what that means in daily practice.
Person-centred care means care is organised around the preferences, history and goals of the individual rather than the convenience of a routine.
In practice it looks like offering genuine choices, respecting privacy, explaining before acting, and adapting support as needs change.
Small acts of respect — knocking before entering, asking how someone prefers to be addressed — carry as much weight as technical skill.
