New NCAPPS Resource: Person-Centered Planning: Choosing the Approach that Works for the Person

Despite consensus regarding the content and conduct of person-centered plans (such as the person-centered planning requirements in the Home and Community-Based Services Final Rule), there has been less promising practice guidance on how to tailor the duration and extent of the planning process to the needs and wishes of the person. To be truly person-centered, the content and extent of the planning process should be tailored to the person's unique life circumstances. The intent of this resource is to reinforce the importance of aligning person-centered planning approaches with the wishes and needs of the person for whom the plan is being developed, rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach.
