Synopsis
A person centred plan is a means not an end. The life that the person wants is the outcome, not the plan that describes it. Person centred planning is a process of learning how a person wants to live and then describing what needs to be done to help the person move toward that life. Essential lifestyle planning began in the late 1980's, at the University of Maryland, where Michael Smull & Susan Burke-Harrison were asked to help people return to their home communities from institutions and residential schools. All of the people that they were asked to help return to their communities had been labelled as 'not ready' for life in the community and their records supported this impression. We have found that developing an essential lifestyle plan is useful for anyone where it helps to discover what is important to a person in everyday life; and what is important for a person in order for them to stay healthy and safe describe what you have learned in a way that is easily accessible to those who will help that person get what is important to them. Throughout the 1990's the use of essential lifestyle planning was extended to other people-to individuals living at home, to those using community services, to children and to older adults.
