Health and social care- benefits and barriers of person centered care
The benefits of person centered care is that it is tailored to the individuals
needs, so the individual isn’t getting something that is not necessary for them
and their care and also, they are getting what they need in terms of their care. It
means that the individual receives constant support. This support is also tailored
so that it is one on one with the care giver and the care receiver, this also means
that the care receiver gets exactly the help that they require. This type of care
means that the care receiver has control over their own budget and it also
means that they can stay in their own home.
However, there are also barriers to giving someone person centered care. Some
of these barriers may include that the individual has a lack of confidence. The
care givers themselves may be unsure of what support to give. There also may
be the problem of the individual not having enough money for their care plan.
There may also be a restriction depending on where someone lives as some
services may not be available in some rural areas. If someone has a personal
assistant, there may be the problem of if the personal assistant is ill then who
will care for the individual. The staff may not have been trained enough in order
to give a high enough standard level of care. Some care givers are also very
resistant to change, so they may still go by how things used to be done. Some
care givers may focus on deficits rather than capabilities, so this will knock the
care receiver’s confidence. There may be a lack of resources in order for the
staff to do their job effectively. Some people may also have communication
challenges, especially if they have had a stroke, so it will be hard for them to
state specifically what they need.
