Person-centered care tends to mean the method in which the patients tend to participate
actively in their medical treatment while maintaining corporation with the professionals of the
health. Additionally, the members of the family, as well as the relatives, are also included in the
creation of the health plan program of the family (Dotta et al. 2013). The general standpoint of
the situation of the patient that the patient tends to experience is being considered to create
objectives and strategies for monitoring the patient in the short term as well as on a long term
basis. This essay will be focusing on the person-centered care of older people. On the other hand,
it is very significant to understand the fact that healthy aging tends to mean the adoption of
strong conducts and performances, staying engaged in the activities of the community, utilization
of the preventive services, management of the healthiness circumstances and understanding that
all the capsules tend to subsidize to the products as well as to the meaningful life.
In the process of the healthy gaining, the person-centered care tends to mean the
obtaining of the values and preferences of the older people which was once being expressed and
even provide them with diverse features of the health care and provide them with the support
which are connected to the reality as well as with the goals of the life. Hence, the ageing adults
need to get person-centered care (Rokstad et al., 2015). The essay will be focusing on the
reflection of my discussion with an older person, which will be highlighting the principles of
person-centered care and the advantages and disadvantages of it. Secondly, the essay will be
highlighting the critical review of the current literature, monitored by a debate on the
implementation of person-centered care concerning the care of the older person, followed by
some recommendations.
From the discussion with the older person, the significant principles of the person-
centered care that elder people want to follow was being identified. One of the basic principles

2OLDER PERSON
of Person-centered care that was being identified through the discussion of person-centered care
is that people must be treated with dignity, compassion, and full of support. When older people
are being put into care, they tend to lose their dignity. However, person-centered care tends to
give the respect the patients deserve by respecting their wishes and by treating them with
compassion and empathy. The second most important principle that must be followed as per the
discussion of the older adult is that person-centered care must provide a coordinated form of care
and support to their patients. The third principle that is being expected is that of the personalized
care, support and treatment to the adult patients. Personalizing the service to each of the patients
will permit them to retain some of their independence and even fulfill their desires and
requirements. The providers of the service must identify and develop the strengths and abilities
so that older people can develop their own capabilities and understand how to look for
themselves independently (Ballard et al., 2018). However, from the discussion that was being
conducted with the older person, it was being understood that person-centered care helps to make
them feel comfortable and confident by holding on their dignity (Fors et al., 2017). The
emotional, social, and practical needs of the older patient are being met, which indicates the fact
the adult leads a very high quality of life. The older person also indicates the fact that personal
centered care tends to help those who are not able to communicate things directly about their
particular needs and wants. On the other hand, one of the significant points that is being
indicated by the older person is that person-centered care tends to enhance the independence of
older people (Eldh et al.,2016). It helps the patients to take part in their own decision, which
gives a feeling of superiority to the adults. On the other hand, despite the advantages or the
positive side that was being said by the older person for person-centered care, the older person
also instructed the fact that there are some negative sides to person-centered care as well.

3OLDER PERSON
According to the older man, the person-centered care will not be beneficial if the patient or the
client is not motivated enough. It also tends to depend mainly on the patient. On the other hand,
it is to be noted that some of the patients are also frightened in communicating (Brooker and
Latham 2015). Apart from this, the older man righty indicates that despite providing adequate
help, some of the patients might feel that they are not getting the right help.
Inger Ekman notes that person-centered care tends to give importance to the partnership
between the patients and the health care. Personal centered care was being applied to patients
who were suffering from CHF. However, after six months of care, the patients were found to be
improving. When the philosophies of person-centered care are being applied to the patients, the
time spend I the hospital tends to get shortened along, and the functional performance of the
patients tends to get normalized (Ekman et al.,2012).
According to Tariq Saleem Alharbi, though the person-centered care tends to be very
much beneficial for the patients, it tends to have a various number of barriers as well.
Organizational factors, characteristics of the patient, the resistance to change are some of the
factors that tend to affect the activity of person-centered care (Alharbi et al.,2014).
According to Kristina Rosengren, t is very important to comprehend the implementation
process of person-centered care. Data was being examined using the qualitative analysis of the
data, and interviews were being conducted of the managers. The results indicate that the
structured form of approach that is to be prearranged, care planning to be sustained, and
cooperation are the significant keys of the person-centered care (Rosengren 2016). This indicates
the fact that both the professional of the care and the patient must work together in an organized
way to bring about the desired result.

4OLDER PERSON
On examining the patients, it was being noted by Brännström and Boman (2014), that
the person-centered care in combination with the active heart failure and palliative care that is
taken in the home has the capability to enhance the quality of life and even the morbidity
substantially among the patients who are suffering from severe chronic emotion failure of the
heart (Brännström and Boman 2014).
According to the study that was being conducted on the older people, it is being analyzed
by the nurses that the care given by them to the patients within the organization is less valued in
comparison to the residential care. The sense of belongingness helps the patients to recover
sooner. Intimate aspects are being more valued (McCormack et al., 2010).
According to Wynia et al (2018), when person-centered care is being provided to older
people, they tend to show more positive results. The quality of the life that was being led by
older people also got enhanced the effect of person-centered care.
The person-centered plan can be implemented by encouraging the older man and the
older people to have a positive attitude of themselves, their lives, and for the future lives indeed.
The family members must be adequately prepared so that they tend to listen to the older person
and understand and respond accurately. The needs and wants of the older person must be well
understood. Apart from the professional who must be put in charge of the care of the older
patient, it is very important for the members of the family to participate so that the older person
does not feel himself to be neglected. The place in which he lives must organize activities that
tend to connect the older people together. For example, the residential area in which the older
person lives can initiate a yoga session or a morning walk for all the adults together in the group.

5OLDER PERSON
The conclusion that can be derived from the study is that person-centered care is
conducted by giving importance to the patient. The values of the patient are being kept in the
center of person-centered care. Since, with the passing of time, older people tend to lose their
morale and feel low about themselves, it tends to psychology affect them and their health. On
the other hand, I is to be noted that person-centered care tends to give value to the older person,
look after their priorities, and plan for their health system accordingly. It helps older people to
participate in their own recovery and good aging actively. Together they build up a bond that
helps the adult for better aging. However, it is must be rightly strategized and utilized for the
right effect upon the adult.

On conversation with the older person, it was being understood that healthy ageing according to
him was to die with full of dignity. All his values, opinions and ideas must be respected in terms
of decision making. The older person who is being interviewed claims that his mental will and
determination are his key strengths in order to achieve something. However, because of age, he
is unable to achieve because of his physical weakness. Looking back at the enjoyment the older
person have experienced, he tends to claim now he wants to stay with his family members and
likes to enjoy time with them. Going to the hospital and being under their care makes the older
person stay away from their family which makes him feel depressed. The older person claims
that he wishes to get the care and the support of the professionals by staying in the home with his
family members
