English term (edited):
Is individual oriented to person?
Selected
Is the caregiver attentive to the patient?
Or "Does the caregiver interact well with the patient?"
This reminds me of a question we had here a few days ago: please see link below.
"People-oriented" means that one interacts well with people, so I would guess that the question asks whether the caregiver interacts well with patients or, specifically, is attentive to the patient in question.

: I think this is the likely interpretation. "People-oriented" - maybe, but the quote sounds like it is asking about the particular situation.

: If it is a medical report, oriented to person means that the patient is aware of who others around him are. It's a phrase that is often used as "oriented to person, place, and time" particularly with patients who have dementia, brain injury, or psychosis.

individual and personalized care
This would be a possibility. A couple of examples:
A specially trained hospice nurse works directly with the patient’s physician to develop a **personalized care plan**, one which focuses on pain management and symptom control…

... Our patients receive tailored, **personalized treatment** under the care of ... and enables each patient to receive private and **individual care** from doctors ...

Is the individual people-oriented?
As Michael pointed out, the sentence deosn't make much sense, even with the IS. It seems like: Is (the) individual oriented to personS?
To me it seems like a question about the psychological attitude of the indivdual: Is the individual people-oriented? I.e. sociable, outgoing (or withdrawn, reserved)

If the individual refers to the caregiver, I think Michael\'s answer is another possibility.
