“The care plan must be thought of as a living, breathing document. It is never ‘done’ because human beings change and grow every day. True person-centered care must include constantly learning and adapting to the needs of the older adult.”
Juliana Young, Champion of Aging Well & Business Development Director, Home Care Assistance of Douglas County
