Purpose: Measuring person-centered care (PCC) is essential for assessing care quality, yet a comprehensive review of PCC measurement tools in long-term supports and services (LTSS) is lacking. The current study identified and evaluated tools for measuring PCC in older adults in LTSS. Method: Following Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review framework, a search was conducted in PubMed and CINAHL. Peer-reviewed articles in English on PCC measurement tools for older adults (aged ≥65 years) in LTSS were included, excluding family-reported tools and gray literature. Results: From 914 studies, 25 articles were selected, revealing 11 tools categorized as non-observational (e.g., self-report) and observational (e.g., structured observation). Most tools ( n = 8) demonstrated strong reliability and validity. Conclusion: This study identified current tools available while also highlighting limitations, such as inconsistencies among tools. Findings can guide future research and practice to enhance PCC in LTSS.
