Food for Thought: Are person-centered planning & "personalisation" failing people within our long-term care systems?

Open Discussion

I contacted local ADRC and asked people at the state level and was told if his needs are above a certain $ amount each month that IRIS would not be the right program for him. He has significant needs. I wish Family Care agencies and IRIS agencies could collaborate so Family Care could be more person centered. Or...why not have one agency that does what is best for people with unique abilities? It seems logical to me. How bout it Wisconsin? One stop does it all for all.

I agree with Wanda. I want so much to have my son in iris and the idea of person centered, but because his needs are so high ($) he his on family care. We have had many roadblocks to getting him the services/equipment he needs. It is a long process to get anything approved. Many things are denied. It wears a person down after a while, but I won't stop advocating for my son.
