In today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, tailoring care plans to meet individual needs and preferences has become paramount. By 2040, nearly one in seven people is projected to be over 75, leading to a steadily increasing demand for caregiving services due to ageing populations and the rising prevalence of chronic conditions.
Person-centred care respects individuality and promotes dignity, acknowledging clients' diverse backgrounds and empowering them in decision-making about their care.
