What is Person-Centred Care? 🤔

Person-Centred Care is about focusing care on the needs of the individual. To provide the best care, our care teams at Jasmine always make sure that people's preferences, needs and values guide the care that is provided, and that their care is always respectful of and responsive to them.

Person-Centred Care includes:

One-to-Ones: Discussions with care providers (usually over a cup of tea!) to understand the history, lifestyle, and preferences of the person receiving care. This could range from their favourite hobbies to the food they dislike!

Personal Care Plans: Care plans outline the care and support an individual needs to maintain their health, well-being, and daily functioning. For dementia patients, personalised care plans will be built around the care and support a person needs, with the family, carers and the individual themselves involved in putting together the plan.

Activities: Our Activities Coordinators across all our homes put together a weekly activity scheduled tailored to the needs of our residents, including those with dementia. A wide range of activities ensures all residents' need are met and everyone can get involved if they choose.

What is Dementia? 🤔

Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a collection of symptoms that occur when certain diseases, or conditions, affect the brain.

The symptoms will depend on which condition is causing the dementia, and which parts for the brain are affected. (Age UK, 2020)

Dementia conditions include Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular Dementia and Frontotemporal Dementia.
