Purpose: In order to be successful at person centered care, communities must have consistent assignments and give care partners the authority to make day-to-day decisions in providing care. Often the design of the building limits creating neighborhoods or households that are a part of culture change. Investigate how to de-institutionalize the environment to make a home and to provide person centered care to the best of your ability.
