Person-Centred Dementia Care
This session will help you to understand that person-centred dementia care involves: respecting the human rights of all people living with dementia, including their rights to dignity, liberty, privacy and to be treated in a humane way; engaging with the person as a unique individual taking into account their life experience, unique abilities, interests, culture, likes, dislikes and needs; taking the person's perspective and seeing the world through their eyes, including ensuring people living with dementia and their family carers are equal partners in decisions about their care; providing a supportive and enabling physical and social environment.
