Background: Person-centred practice is foundational to quality in community care, yet staff-reported PCP in Norwegian home care services is under-described. The Person-centred Practice Inventory–Staff (PCPI-S) aligns with McCormack & McCance’s Person-centred Practice Framework and is validated in Norwegian. Aim: To explore staff-based measures of person-centredness in a Norwegian home care district. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey (October 2024) in a home care district in South-Eastern Norway using the Norwegian PCPI-S. N=94 staff completed the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics summarized construct scores; ANOVA tested differences by education level and work experience. P≤0.05   Results: At the domain level, Person-centred processes scored consistently high (all five constructs ≥4.0), with Having sympathetic presence and Providing holistic care topping the domain (both M = 4.33). Overall, the highest single-construct scores were in Prerequisites; Developed interpersonal skills (M = 4.47) and Being committed to job (M = 4.46). Meanwhile, Care-environment constructs such as Supportive organisational systems (M = 3.51) and Shared decision-making systems (M = 3.58), and the Prerequisite Clarity of beliefs and values (M = 3.64) were comparatively lower, though all means exceeded the five-point scale midpoint (3.0). Work experience (>5 vs. ≤5 years) showed no significant differences, whereas higher education was significantly associated with higher scores across multiple constructs (Professional competence, Interpersonal skills, Commitment to job, Clarity of beliefs and values, and several Care environment constructs). Conclusions: Although scores were high across domains, Care Environment constructs scored lower than Care processes, while Prerequisites contained the highest single-construct scores. Enhancing supportive systems, team-level decision-making, and professional development may further embed person-centred practice in home care services.
