Person-Centred Dementia Care
It is absolutely critical that the person living with dementia is given person-centred care. "There is a Zulu saying that is very true: ‘A person is a person through others’. Give us reassurance, hugs support, a meaning of life. Value us for what we can still do and be, and be sure we retain social networks” - Christine Bryden (person living with dementia) ‘Personhood’ is a status that is bestowed on one human being by others, in the context of relationship and social being.
