Bolstering Family-Centered Care Approaches
 

Providing a permanent allowance for parents who assume caregiving responsibilities supports the implementation of family-centered care approaches within the healthcare and social services sectors. Family-centered care recognizes the crucial role of parents and families as essential partners in decision-making and care delivery. By compensating parents for extraordinary care when no other suitable options are available, this policy affirms their status as active participants in their child's care team. This approach enhances the quality of care and strengthens the collaboration between formal healthcare providers and parents, resulting in better health outcomes, improved satisfaction, and increased adherence to treatment plans.
