Person-Directed Dementia Care Assessment Tool: A guide for creating quality of life and successfully refocusing behavior

from Info Long-Term Care: 


This tool was developed by the State of Wisconsin, Department of Health and Family Services, Division of Disability and Elder Services to be used as a guide for identifying the elements involved in implementing a person-directed dementia care.

The nine sections of the tool examine specific areas of focus vital in providing person centred care, emphasizing culture change elements. The goal is to provide as much planning to meet an individual's social and emotional needs.
