Moving Forward: Embedding Person-Centred Care at the Core of Operations in Long-Term Care Background Person-Centred Care (PCC) remains a critical challenge for long-term care (LTC) providers. Translating PCC principles into routine practice requires systemic strategies and innovative approaches. This pilot study explores an integrated implementation pathway combining blended training, structured follow-up, digital tools, and a new procedural framework—the Life Project Support Plan (LPSP)—within Spain’s largest LTC provider (DomusVi).Methods A quasi-experimental pilot study involved 233 healthcare professionals across multiple units, analyzing 640 PCC cases. The intervention included blended learning (face-to-face and online), biweekly coaching, and a portable digital platform to support documentation, alongside co-creation of LPSP with the person at the center of care. Pre- and post-intervention measures assessed PCC practice scores and LPSP adoption using paired t-tests, two-way ANOVA, correlations, and effect sizes.Results PCC practice improved significantly (Pre = 3.78, Post = 4.03; t(232) = -3.395, p < 0.001, d = −0.315). Technology-enhanced groups showed greater gains (η² = 0.063). LPSP adoption rose sharply (Pre = 0, Post = 13.2; p < 0.001, d = 1.239). Positive correlations between technology use and LPSP uptake highlight the synergistic effect of digital integration and training.Conclusions Comprehensive training combined with digital support accelerates PCC implementation and fosters organizational change. This multi-component approach to Person-Centred Care (PCC) in long-term care settings integrates blended professional training, structured follow-up, digital tools, and the co-created Life Project Support Plan (LPSP). By embedding measurable Person-Centred Care practices through co-created LPSP and digital support, this model bridges practice, organization, and governance toward sustainable cultural change. Future research should evaluate long-term impact and cost-effectiveness.Keywords Person-Centred Care, Implementation, Digital Health, Professional Education, Organizational Change, Long-Term Care
