Person centred approaches

There are a number of factors that need to be considered when supporting people with dementia.

It’s important to focus on the person rather than the illness.

Rather than seeing dementia as the focus it is important to see and focus on the person.

Each person with dementia will change and react to their difficulties in a different way.

It is very helpful to know about a person. This will help to think about what the person could be experiencing.

Finding out all about a person’s life is very important
