Person‑centred care also entails giving attention and value to establishing relationships in addition to completing tasks. Establishing a relationship facilitates feelings of being seen and cared for, or in the case of task orientation, neglected and treated like an object. In acute care, patients and family have generally no competence to evaluate the medical procedures, but they can all evaluate the way in which they are encountered. Also, making space for meaningful activities can be of immense value. This can include basic activities such as reading the paper or helping out with serving lunch. Those are small but important things that can be provided even in a busy acute care environment, and can help to maintain a sense of self in the older patient .
