How does models of dementia care view the person with dementia?

Models of dementia care focus on viewing the person with dementia as an individual with unique needs, preferences, and dignity rather than simply focusing on the condition itself. These models emphasize person-centred care, where the individual is respected for their life experiences, personality, and choices. Instead of only managing symptoms, the approach seeks to promote independence, maintain identity, and enhance quality of life. When families search for dementia care homes near me, the best options are those that adopt this person-centred philosophy. At Wardington House Nursing Home, care is tailored to each resident, ensuring that emotional, physical, and social needs are met with compassion and professionalism. Staff are trained to understand behaviours as a form of communication and to respond with empathy, patience, and support.
