Person Centered Model

The Model

"People who live in our communities are not second class citizens. They have worked hard for us. They have fought in the wars and risked their lives to protect our freedoms ... let's not take their freedoms away."

Eric Haider

The Person-Centered Model is based on some simple common sense principles:

Provide the best possible quality of life and quality of service to the people who live in our communities by giving them personal attention
Keep them as active, happy, and healthy as possible by respecting their wishes, meeting their needs, fulfilling their desires, and focusing on each person's positive outcomes.
Give people choices, freedom, independence, self-respect, and control of their lives by respecting their rights and involving them in the decision making process.
Provide a fun and enjoyable working environment for staff.
Treat people with dignity, respect, courtesy, and politeness
