Shared decision making

Sharing decision-making with residents is key to person-centred care and will help residents to feel a sense of control in their lives.  As some residents may lack capacity to make decisions for themselves, this must be balanced by rights against risk.  

Age Cymru have produced a resource to support care homes to enable shared decision making.

Age Cymru - Sharing Decision Making in Care Homes 

Social Care Wales have produced a document around supporting people to make decisions about their care.
