The core values of the service system shall include:
(1) The system of care is person-centered and family-focused, with the needs and choices of the individual and family, as appropriate, determining the types and mix of services and supports provided, because, to make good decisions, service recipients and their families need complete information about the availability, alternatives, and costs of services and supports, how the decision-making process works, and how to participate in that process;
(2) The system of care provides individualized services and supports based on an individualized service plan that is comprehensive, coordinated, age appropriate, provides smooth transition through life stages, involves families as appropriate, and is developed by qualified professionals in consultation with service recipients and family members as appropriate;
(3) The system of care is community-based and provides for service in the least restrictive, most appropriate setting;
(4) The system of care is culturally competent with agencies, programs, services, and supports that are responsive to the cultural, racial, and ethnic differences of the populations they serve;
(5) The system of care takes into account the safety and health of service recipients, while respecting their choices and protecting their rights, including their right to be free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation; and
(6) The system of care is continuously improved based on research and best practices.
