Person Centred Care
Care That Puts You at the Heart of Everything
At Person Centred Living, our entire philosophy is built around the belief that everyone deserves to be recognised, respected, and empowered as an individual. Our person centred care approach ensures that every adult with learning disabilities or autism receives support that is truly tailored to their unique preferences, needs, and ambitions—enabling them to live with dignity, independence, and confidence in their own home and community.
What is Person Centred Care?
Person centred care is a way of supporting people that puts their wishes, values, and aspirations first. It means moving beyond simply “doing for” someone, and instead working in partnership—listening, understanding, and co-creating a support plan that reflects who they are, not just what they need.
This approach includes:
- Respecting each person’s right to make choices, big and small
- Recognising strengths and interests, as well as challenges
- Supporting autonomy and decision-making at every stage
- Delivering care that adapts to changes in health, circumstances, or goals
Who Can Benefit?
We specialise in person centred care for:
- Adults with learning disabilities or autism
- People with additional health or sensory needs
- Individuals who want to move towards greater independence
- Clients looking for a say in their support, home, and day-to-day life
- Families seeking collaborative, respectful care for their loved one
Whether you need a little support or a more complex package, our service is shaped around you.
Our Approach: Listening, Collaborating, Empowering
We believe the best outcomes happen when people feel heard, understood, and included in decisions about their life. Our team will:
- Listen to your story, preferences, and goals
- Co-design a support plan with you (and your family or advocate, if you wish)
- Review and adapt support regularly, as your needs or ambitions change
- Encourage choice, risk-taking, and new opportunities
- Celebrate achievements and help overcome setbacks

Every plan is unique, but our support may include:
- Daily living assistance: Support with routines, personal care, meals, and household tasks, always respecting your choices
- Community involvement:Help with accessing education, work, volunteering, hobbies, and social events at your own pace
- Communication support: Use of alternative communication, Makaton, technology, or visual aids as preferred

This approach:

- Builds confidence: Being listened to and respected boosts self-esteem and resilience
- Improves wellbeing: Tailored care leads to greater satisfaction, happiness, and stability
