Unit 17 caring for individuals with dementia assignment two Millie O’Neill 185473


The benefits of person-centred care when caring for an individual with dementia are

that it ensures that they can do the things that they benefit from, and it is an efficient

way of preventing and managing behavioural and psychological symptoms of

dementia. Family, carers and the individual with dementia should always be involved

where possible when developing a care plan based on person-centred care. This is

because their knowledge and understanding of the individual is exceptionally

valuable in ensuring that the care plan is right for them. The key points of person-

centred care are:


 Ensuring the individual is treat with dignity and respect

 Recognising their history, lifestyle, culture and preferences, this includes their

likes, dislikes, hobbies and interests

 Seeing situations from the point of view of the individual with dementia

 Supporting opportunities for the individual to have conversations and

relationships with others

 Ensuring the individual can try new experiences or take part in the activities

that they enjoy.


Aldworth et al


Person-centred care is applied to Raymond who has vascular dementia as the

residential accommodation have included his daughter in his care plan to learn about

his interests, likes and dislikes, this includes diet, hobbies and any issues that can

trigger his irritability. They have found that Raymond is still interested in medical

matters so have introduced them to Winston who is a retired G.P. this allows him to

be supported in having conversations and relationships with others as they discuss

old cases and share the medical magazines that Raymond’s daughter brings in

when she visits. Raymond has a television in his room which allows him to watch

documentaries that he is interested in, he also has a desk as he likes to make notes

after he has had discussions with Winston.




The Admiral Nurses who supported him were accused of being intruders who had

went to rob Raymond, the nurses would see this from the point of view of Raymond

and realise that he is not irritable because of them but due to the dementia.




The principles of person-centred care are important to maintain the dignity, rights

and entitlements of an individual with dementia as it ensures that individuals are treat

how they want to be, such as being called a certain name such as a nickname as

they prefer that, they have different activities that they enjoy and are not doing the

same one as everyone else because that is the one that is on, it ensures that if they

want their care to be provided a certain way such as being washed with a flannel

instead of a sponge or wearing a tie every day, then they have that choice to be

recognised as individuals and have their care made unique to them.


Aldworth et al




Raymond likes to be called by his title (Doctor), this has been put in his care plan to

ensure that staff are aware of this and do this. Raymond enjoys a walk in the

residence garden and to sit and read there, staff ensure he is not disturbed and that

the gate is securely locked to ensure Raymond’s safety so that he cannot wander

into the road beyond the garden.
