Person-Centered Care and Resident Choice

This course provides direct care staff in Adult Residential Facilities (ARF) with the essential knowledge and skills to deliver person-centered care while supporting individual choice for adults with developmental disabilities or mental health conditions. The training is designed to help caregivers understand and respect each resident’s unique preferences, goals, and communication styles, ensuring that care is tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Participants will learn how to facilitate meaningful decision-making, adapt support to match abilities, and encourage independence, all while maintaining safety and regulatory compliance. The course addresses practical strategies for balancing resident autonomy with necessary supervision, risk management, and the legal responsibilities of caregivers. By focusing on real-world scenarios and best practices, this course empowers caregivers to create a supportive environment where residents are active participants in their own care. The content is aligned with current California Title 22 regulations specific to direct care staff in group home settings, and incorporates federal standards from CMS, HIPAA, ADA, OSHA, and SAMHSA. This training is ideal for caregivers seeking to enhance their skills, meet compliance requirements, and improve the quality of life for those they support.
