Why is it a good practice of the Person-Centered Model?
Reference platform that collects, evaluates and disseminates good practices in care and support for people in situations of dependency, with a community and inclusive approach. Includes initiatives from the social, health, technological, educational and environmental design fields, with replicability and sustainability criteria.
Person-centered approach: Promotion of the Comprehensive and Person-Centered Care model (AICP), which puts people with disabilities or in situations of dependency at the center, respecting their preferences, capacities and rights. Encourages collaborative design of environments, services and resources from the active participation of users, families and professionals.
Integrated Assessment (Person, Family, Housing) and Life History
The Red de Buenas Prácticas does not focus on individual assessments. Instead, it gathers and studies a wide variety of practices, services and interventions que buscan mejorar la calidad de vida de personas con vulnerabilidad, discapacidad o dependencia. The “assessment” in this case is at system level: the project analyses what kind of care models, supports, environmental adjustments or community practices exist across Spain, how they impact people’s autonomy and wellbeing, and under what conditions those practices succeed or fail. This approach recognises that quality of life depends not only on personal factors but on social, organisational and environmental contexts.
Personalised Care and Support Plan for the Life Project
As a network of good practices, the project does not provide personalised care plans for individuals. Instead, it documents and disseminates a repertoire of effective interventions — from accessible housing, supportive technologies, community care, to organisational innovations — that can be adapted by services, organisations or administrations. In this way, it contributes indirectly to personalised support: by making visible what works, it supplies tools and ideas to design care plans centred on the person’s needs (autonomy, dignity, independence), based on previously proven good practices.
Support groups
The Red fosters interaction among organisations, professionals, service providers and social agents interested in person-centred care. By sharing practices, experiences and innovations, this network creates a kind of virtual (and occasionally in-person) community of learning and collaboration. Although not a “support group” for individuals, this collaborative environment helps spread knowledge, promote mutual support among entities, and reinforce a culture of dignity, autonomy and inclusive care.
Case Management and Resource Coordinator
Rather than coordinate individual cases, the network coordinates resources at a macro-level: it collects information, organises a catalogue of good practices, disseminates evidence, and supports decision-making by public authorities and service providers. It works like an infrastructure for coordination: providing documentation, guidelines, evaluations, and connections among actors. This coordination helps to align resources, standardise quality, and facilitate the replication or adaptation of successful practices elsewhere.
Highlined results
Has allowed to systematize more than 160 innovative experiences, serving as a training and improvement tool for public and private entities. Its catalog is a resource recognized by professionals, administrations and universities.
Inspiring ideas for other enviorments. It can works! 😉
The Red shows that improving care and support systems does not always mean creating new services — sometimes it means learning from what already works. By documenting and sharing good practices in housing, environment design, assistive technology, community care, organisational innovation, the project offers a blueprint for other regions or countries seeking inclusive, person-centred care models. Its emphasis on dignity, autonomy and quality of life makes it a powerful inspiration for transforming services for older people, persons with disability or people in dependency, in a consistent, sustainable and collaborative way.
