Person centered care for those with dementia is a good concept

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

Great teaching boo.

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.
