Dementia Person-Centered Assessment and Intervention: A Comprehensive Guide for Empowering Individuals and Caregivers
: Understanding the Person-Centered Approach
Dementia is a complex condition that affects cognitive abilities, behavior, and social functioning. Traditional approaches to dementia care often focus on managing symptoms and controlling behaviors, which can lead to depersonalization and a decline in quality of life. In contrast, the person-centered approach emphasizes respect, compassion, and the unique needs of the individual.
