LTSS - The Texas OASIS HCBS Way

People of all ages, races, socioeconomic backgrounds, nationalities, religious and spiritual beliefs, cultural practices, and physical and mental abilities may develop a chronic illness or a disability.

Some receive care and support for a short time and others for the rest of their lives.

Our job is to get to know each person who receives services as a person and to provide care and support that really matters!

We can do this by doing the following:

• Paying attention to our biases
• Using person-first language
• Using person-directed principles
• Using evidence instead of opinions
• Continuing to learn

In the next module, you'll take a closer look into person-directed care.
