For individuals living with dementia, everyday activities have a major impact on their brain function, behavioral responses, functional abilities and sense of well-being. When it comes to home care, having a person-centered approach to care can make a big difference in overall outcomes.
As a philosophy of care built around the needs of the individual, person-centered care calls for the caregivers to develop a respectful interpersonal connection that will allow them to create a comfortable, flexible and safe environment where the individual can thrive. This philosophy also helps with having a better understanding of when adjustments are needed in the care plan.
Tune into today’s ComForConnections masterclass for the latest strategies and best practices for enhancing dementia care through a person-centered care philosophy.
