Empowering People Through Person-Centered Services

What Is a Person-Centered Culture?

A person-centered culture puts people first. It’s built on values and everyday actions that support individuals in living the lives they choose. This means each person has a say in how they spend their time, who they spend it with, and what their future looks like.

For organizations and professionals who provide services—like caregivers, staff, and support teams—creating a person-centered culture means rethinking how support is delivered. It’s not just about offering help, but about working with people to design services that reflect their goals, preferences, and values.

The focus is on empowerment, respect, and partnership—so every person can lead a life that feels meaningful to them.

Person-Centered Services at Easterseals Southern California 

At Easterseals Southern California, we believe that people know what matters most in their own lives. Through Person-Centered Culture, Practices, and Self-Determination, individuals are empowered to take the lead in planning their days, setting goals, and choosing the services that support them.

Person-Centered Services focus on each person’s unique preferences, interests, and needs. This approach encourages individuals to guide their own planning process and make choices about what they want to do, learn, and who they want to spend time with.

Our Adult Day Services program puts these values into action every day. We are committed to making sure individuals are actively involved in decisions that affect their lives and are supported in reaching their personal goals.
