Person‐centredness in elder care: A secondary analysis of data from a study among home‐dwelling men and women in the Faroe Islands
Aims and objectives As individuals in Western societies age, there is increasing demand for home‐based care to help older people stay in their homes for as long as possible and provide services that ensure a person's quality of life in old age. Numerous attempts are made to develop a framework...

Empirical studies concerning home‐dwelling older people receiving home care are scarce. Methods The study is a secondary analysis of data from an earlier qualitative study.

What they were offered did not always make sense to them or correspond to their needs or preferences. Conclusions The number of interviews included was limited. However, findings from this study point at some possible barriers to successful implementation of person‐centredness within elder care.

Relevance to clinical practice Healthcare providers must take the user's preferences, resources and networks into consideration when coordinating and planning home care and, importantly, be open for negotiating needs. It is important to draw attention to the contrast between political intentions regarding elder care and the limited options for putting the intentions into practice.
