Person-Centered Care for Dementia
Person-centered care is used, misused and incorrectly defined,
although the concept is widely used in the UK and catching on in the
USA. Person-centered care is a viable concept for the day-to-day
management of dementia patients in institutional settings and at home.
This presentation will define the key concepts of person-centered care,
give a fresh definition of the concept, explore the key components and
give specific examples of how nurses can implement person centered
programs and interventions in their practice. The focus of the
presentation will be on providing clear implementation guidelines and
identifying best practices/research findings to model. At the completion
of the presentation, the attendee will be able to state a clear definition of
person-centered care, list the key concepts, and write an
implementation plan for their own practice. A comprehensive reference
list will be provided to attendees.
