Person-centred care isn’t just an option, it’s an essential requirement when providing care, especially for those living with dementia. Our person-centred Rose Model means that we always see, value and consider the whole person - not just their care needs. For #DementiaActionWeek we have broken down why care should always be person-centred in our latest blog, which you can read here: | https://lnkd.in/eys-ZWsF #DementiaActionWeek #AlzheimersSociety #PersonCentredCare

In this reel post, we'll explore why patience and understanding are crucial when caring for someone with dementia.

Did you know that 2 in 3 people living with dementia live at home in the community rather than residential aged care? This means there is a growing need to ensure our first responders have a greater understanding of dementia and its management. The next edition of the Australian Journal of Dementia Care examines this important issue. Subscribe now ➡ journalofdementiacare.com #AJDC #FirstResponders #DementiaCare

I participated in the #CarePartnerSupportSeries (CPSS) in 2021. It was a game-changer for me: 1. The fact that, as a full-time caregiver, I'm at a heightened risk for developing #dementia was a wake-up call, motivating me to prioritize taking care of myself and #riskReduction strategies. 2. One poignant moment in my group was when a fellow care partner shared, "I felt that the group gave me permission to do yoga as a form of #selfCare." That statement stood out for me as it underscored the transformative impact of being in a group of peers on a similar path, offering mutual #understanding and #validation. 3. The Series uses interactive learning cycles starting with an experience, sharing insights, processing them, and making connections. It then invites the care partners to identify personalised solutions that fit their unique circumstances. This method recognises and validates care partners as knowledgeable and resourceful, and it resonated with me a lot. So I became certified in Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Dementia Care to support others in the same way. I am a big fan of CPSS and I encourage care partners to join the Series! You will be in awe of some of the creative and innovative solutions and strategies that fellow care partners have identified for themselves and the person with dementia they are partnering with. #dementia #Care #carePartner #selfCare #support #PAC #PACMalaysia #personsLivingWithDementia
