Describing an older woman as a “sweet little old lady” for example, may seem complimentary or kind, but it inspires images of frailty and dependence rather that visions of a person with a rich history and full life. It also implies that all women are sweet and little. Too often, stereotypical and ageist beliefs lead to comments and behaviors that are offensive to an older person. With Baby Boomers ready to flood the market, professionals in all fields can benefit from a better understanding of the aging process. Contact us to schedule a training.... This Ain't Your Mama's Ethics Course Research shows that when people are supported to direct their own lives, outcomes improve.

Person-centered planning shifts the balance of power to the consumer and his or her natural supports. The focus is on discovering what people want out of life and supporting their power to choose life conditions and experiences that make sense to them.
