What is person-centered planning?

Person-centered planning is fundamentally about putting the individual at the forefront of the planning process, addressing their unique needs, preferences, and goals. This approach focuses on tailoring services and support to enhance an individual's quality of life, ensuring that they have a significant voice and choice in their own care and support.

By concentrating on the specific strengths, desires, and requirements of the person, this method promotes autonomy and enhances self-determination. It recognizes that everyone is unique and that their plans should reflect that individuality. Therefore, it serves as a key component in delivering personalized and effective support services.

The other options do not encapsulate the essence of person-centered planning. While evaluating staff performance, managing budgets, or strategic group decision-making are important aspects in various contexts, they do not prioritize the individual’s needs and personal vision in the same manner as person-centered planning does.
