Abstract

Over the last two decades, much work has been done for developing person-centred approaches in social and health services in order to deliver better treatment and care for older people. Communication is pivotal in person-centred care and services. Communication skills are necessary to understand the needs and wishes of the older people and their families and be able to decide for the best person-centred care. Competences of the communicator role are maintaining relationships and effective communication, empowerment and coaching.
