What Matters Most: PASSPORT Home Care Aides' Views on Ohio's Initial Steps to Implement Person-centered Care

Nelson, Heather McKay

Abstract Details

2015, Master of Gerontological Studies, Miami University, Gerontology.
The purpose of this research was to document the experiences of the PASSPORT home care aides in using What Matters Most: A Guide for my Support and Care (WMM) developed by Scripps Gerontology Center. The WMM Guide, pilot-tested in southern Ohio, provides a formal structure to document a consumer’s needs, strengths, goals and service preferences. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with seven home care aides. Findings revealed that all of the home care aides found value in the information, especially if the WMM Guide is received prior to the start of services. Second, while they were not familiar with person-centered care terminology, they all described an approach to care that is consistent with person-centeredness. Third, provider level buy-in for person-centered care, supported through training and policy change, will be essential to the success of this initiative.
