I'll be there for you. Providing person-centered dementia care

Description

This chaptered video shows how to make a hands-on shift to person-centered dementia care that engages the whole person and creates a support system based on each resident's needs and preferences. From natural wake-ups to music therapy, the video looks at the benefits of involving residents in their care as much as possible, finding ways to help them to "continue" living life the way they prefer, and engaging them in personalized activities that boost self-esteem and interaction.
