Person Centred Approach

What does MercyCare mean by being person centred? It is all about ensuring the person is at the centre of decisions that relate to their own life. It recognises that people should be able to make decisions about things that are important to them but that they might require our support to do so.

Our ultimate aim is to understand what each individual person both wants and needs to live a life they find meaningful.
