•  Services shall be flexible according to need.
•  Implement services that encourage individuals' personal responsibility, respect their personal rights to make decisions and support self-help. 
•  Increase emphasis on prevention so that the need for intervention or special remedies can be reduced.
•  Contribute to shaping appropriate conditions for raising children and young adults, and offer parenting support to families.
•  Individuals will be enabled, as long as possible, to live in their home with the assistance of home health services.
