Strength Perspective Model Dorchester House

Strength perspective model gives older adults control to take care of themselves and to make the decisions. The model believes that older adults have the rights to make choices because they are the expert on their lives and know what are the best fits for them. Often, professional authorities focus on finding solutions to the problems that their clients presented. Instead, professional authorities should focus on what their clients are looking for. They will work together throughout the process to identify the strengths, and come up with a solution that meets clients’ needs. It is important that clients’ needs should be always the focus of the treatment.

At Dorchester House, we use strengths model because we want to help our patients
