But, how do you make it a part of your daily care routine? CARES Dementia 5-Step Method will introduce an approach that can make it easier to provide person-centered care and to understand people who have dementia. It’s called the CARES Approach.
Using the CARES Approach can help you look at the way a person in your care sees or experiences a situation, so that you can respond in a way that makes sense to him or her. That way, you are likely to have more moments of success with people who are living with dementia. And, these successful moments will make your job and the life of the person you’re caring for more enjoyable and rewarding. What’s more, you can use the CARES Approach in everything you do when caring for a person with dementia.
Dignity, Respect, and Choice in Dementia Care
Make a significant impact in dementia care by honoring dignity, respect, and choice. By looking beyond the diagnosis, you can truly understand each person’s unique history, preferences, and needs.
Get to know the whole person. Learn about their life experiences to build trust and enhance your care.
Encourage independence. Simple choices, like selecting clothing or deciding when to wake up, help maintain their sense of self.
Offer choices. Even when decision-making is challenging, providing options restores dignity and shows respect.
Our CARES® Approach training modules are designed to equip you with practical tools and techniques to implement person-centered care effectively. Each module focuses on real-world applications that empower you to improve the quality of life for those in your care.
