Book Overview
What is person-centred dementia care, and how can it be used to improve care for people from diagnosis to end of life? How can we improve services in people's own homes, in care homes, in supported housing and in hospitals? This substantially updated second edition considers recent developments in person-centred care, presenting refreshed guidelines for practice.
Dawn Brooker and Isabelle Latham explain the evolution of the key principles of person-centred care that comprise the VIPS model. They describe how it has been applied in diverse service settings, and show how to put the model into practice. A new chapter dedicated to culture of care will help service managers to get to grips with this slippery concept, and includes important information on how to guard against neglectful practice. Case studies from the CHOICE programme, a research project on culture of care, demonstrate the key factors that are important for people living with advanced dementia and complex needs to live well.Format:Paperback

Person centered care for those with dementia is a good concept
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book discusses the concept of person centered demnetia care. It tells the reader how to implement the concept and why it is important to do so with people who have dementia. Dawn Brooker talks about the four key elements of person centered care. She discusses the VIPS model: Valuing people with dementia and those who care for them. She focuses on the practical application of this concept. Person Centred Dementia Care shows the reader how to turn the concept into a practical working model. The book reads like a text book which may not be caregiver friendly at first glance. However there is much practical information for the caregiver and healthcare professionals alike. by Susan Berg author of Adorable Photographs of Our Baby: Meaningful, Mind Stimulating Activities and More for the Memory Challenged, Their Loved Ones, and Involved Professionals

This is an excellent book to teach others about dementia, no matter what level of knowledge they have. I plan on using this as a text book.
