Definition
Where the care and support a person is drawing in is meeting their needs in a way that does not align with their preferences, for example where a person with dementia is ‘placed’ in a residential care home against their wishes, when they could be supported at home. This undermines personal choice and control – which is a key principle of the Care Act 2014.
